lpv:translated text	". The national parliamentary elections held in Burma/Myanmar – which we welcome as an expression of this people’s independence and sovereignty – was the moment chosen by the majority in the European Parliament to justify a change in political and diplomatic direction, proposing new instruments for EU interference in this country’s domestic affairs. Big business and the major powers, which the majority in the European Parliament serve, demand a change in the approach to this country for their own pragmatic reasons. Myanmar’s geostrategic location between China and India, and its natural resources, especially energy resources, could play an important role for the EU and its NATO allies, particularly the United States. It is clear that the concerns of the majority in the European Parliament have little to do with the people of this country. The resolution makes no mention of the fact that this is one of the poorest countries in the world. Many years of conflict between different ethnic groups and the central government – the legacy of a colonial presence that always exploited ethnic differences – continue to drive the overwhelming majority of its population into greater poverty and misery. We consider it essential that the European Parliament remember in future that one of the democratic rights is the inalienable right to national sovereignty."@en1
