EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday she would propose that member states lift the bloc's sanctions on Venezuela's interim leader Delcy Rodriguez.
The move comes after Spain said it would push for sanctions to be dropped following the approval of an amnesty law that could see hundreds of political prisoners freed.
"We are seeing from the Venezuelan interim authorities some steps also regarding Europe, for example, the release of the European political prisoners," Kallas said.
The European Union's top diplomat said she did not know yet if there was "consensus" among the bloc's 27 countries to lift the visa ban and asset freeze on Rodriguez.
She also said that she wanted to have a broader discussion on how to deal with the Venezuelan authorities after the US ouster of strongman Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro ruled Venezuela between March 2013 and January 2026, silencing opposition and activists under his harsh rule.
He and his wife are in US custody awaiting trial. Maduro, 63, has pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges and declared that he is a prisoner of war.
