"Burma/Myanmar has made significant progress over the past year, and I am therefore happy to commend the country’s efforts towards democratic change. However, according to the latest report of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, there are still serious human rights concerns that remain to be addressed: prisoners’ release, discrimination against ethnic groups, as well as poverty and development. Therefore, I hope that the government of Burma/Myanmar will continue to take an active approach to protecting human rights and implementing reforms. In this respect, I am in favour of the one-year suspension of the EU restrictive measures currently in place against Burma, a measure which I believe will keep the pressure on the Burmese government to continue reforms, while also making a strong positive statement that genuine reforms will be rewarded."@en1
