EU re-imposes LTTE ban says Sri Lanka

The Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister said  on Saturday  that the European Union had re-imposed the ban on the LTTE due to intervention by the Sri Lankan government.

Ajith Perera said that that prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe had written to the EU to reconsider the ban on the LTTE.

The General Court of the European Union last year took the decision to repeal measures taken by the Council of the European Union to designate the LTTE as a terrorist organisation in the EU.
