EU removes FARC from its terrorism sanctions

In September last year, the EU suspended its terrorism sanctions on Colombian guerrilla movement FARC, in recognition of the peace agreement signed between FARC and the Colombian government (see previous blog). The EU has now removed FARC from its terrorism sanctions listings.
