BRUSSELS, March 25 (Reuters) – The European Union said on
Monday it would immediately suspend travel bans and asset
freezes on most Zimbabwean firms and people on its sanctions
list after Zimbabweans approved a new constitution curbing
presidential powers.
“The EU … has today agreed to immediately suspend the
application of measures against 81 individuals and eight
entities,” an EU statement said.
Ten people, including President Robert Mugabe, and two
companies, including state-run diamond miner the Zimbabwe Mining
Development Corporation, remain on the sanctions list, an EU
source said.
