BRUSSELS—The European Union has decided to continue diplomatic efforts to bring about a regime change in Venezuela despite the denied entry of a group of parliamentarians to Venezuela as a contact group of aid observers.

The 28 member states agreed at a meeting Feb. 18 to stand behind an international contact group amid outrage over Maduro’s decision to ban a delegation of EU parliamentarians from entering the country.
