Canada Concerned by EU Court’s Potential Delisting of Hamas<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

December 17, 2014 – Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird today issued the following statement in response to the European Union General Court’s decision to remove Hamas from the EU’s list of terrorist organizations:<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“We are deeply concerned by the decision of the EU General Court to annul, on procedural grounds, the measures against Hamas. Canada considers Hamas to be a terrorist organization, and it is listed as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code of Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“Hamas indisputably remains a terrorist organization that daily threatens the lives of Israelis, be it through the kidnapping and murder of innocent Israeli teenagers or indiscriminate rocket fire into civilian areas.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“We understand that restrictive measures remain in place for the time being, and we call on the EU to take the immediate remedial steps necessary to keep Hamas listed as a terrorist entity.”<\/p><\/div>\n
