lpv:translated text	"− Mr President, there has definitely been a certain amount of positive development in Burma, but it has been overshadowed by the fact that, since June, more than 100 000 refugees have been forced to flee owing to what should be called a policy of ethnic cleansing, since these refugees really live in terrible conditions. Those of you who are sitting in the visitors’ gallery now, imagine if all of your children were undernourished. Imagine if this entire Chamber and all of Strasbourg were filled with undernourished people who were fleeing. It is a completely preposterous development that is taking place in Burma right now. The fact that governments such as the Swedish Government are going to Burma under these conditions in order to discuss arms deals and other trade links does not tally with our view on human rights and weapons exports. I want the EU to take overall responsibility, ensure that the existing embargo is maintained, and impose requirements on having access to these regions so that we can offer assistance. If the Burmese Government itself will not, cannot or instead absolutely refuses to help these people, it is our duty to ensure that we help them. If so, we must also, with the help of the trade agreements and other agreements that we have with Burma, provide the conditions required for people on the ground to be able to obtain help. This development is catastrophic, and I am rather astonished that these very people call themselves Buddhists. Their religion speaks of non-violence at the same time as they spread violence at home. This is an absurdity. They should look in the mirror, read their religious texts once more and realise that this is a total crime against their own values, not only European values."@en1
