EU foreign ministers on Monday agreed to "swiftly" adopt new sanctions against Venezuelan officials involved in Nicolas Maduro's re-election, which they said "lacked any credibility". At a regular meeting in Brussels, ministers from the 28 EU states gave their approval for work to start so that the sanctions can be formally imposed in June. The move comes after the European Union said last week it would consider fresh measures because the election failed to comply with "minimum international standards" and there were "numerous reported irregularities".
