"I think there is an understanding that for Syria really to be successful, we need to see a delisting, and we need to see sanctions lifted. But I think also it's very important that it's understood that this will not just happen because everyone wants positive things.""Member states are following very carefully what will be happening on the ground, but I do believe that if what has been said in public is actually being implemented in practice, yes, then I think we can see the delisting and the end of sanctions."
As for Syria's neighbours, Mr Pedersen said that Israel's actions since the fall of Assad had been "highly irresponsible".Since the 1967 Middle East war, Israel has occupied and later annexed the area of southern Syria known as the Golan Heights. Most other states, other than the US, consider the Golan to be occupied land.Israel's current bombing campaign against Syrian military facilities and its occupation of more Syrian land in the Golan Heights demilitarised buffer zone and neighbouring areas were, Mr Pedersen said, "a danger to the future of Syria, and these activities need to stop immediately".
"There is no reason that Israel should occupy new Syrian territory. The Golan is already occupied. They don't need new land to be occupied. So what we need to see is that also Israel acts in a manner that don't destabilise this very, very fragile transitional process," he added.Mr Pedersen is also concerned about the complex web of power in northern Syria.

Police and ambulance crews raced to Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, while helicopters circled above and the number of panic-stricken parents began building up outside its gates.With the pupils locked down inside, all the hundreds of parents assembling could do was peer through the railings and suffer the unbearable wait to hear if their sons and daughters were okay.
