"Madam President, High Representative, the decision of the EU to lift sanctions against Myanmar in support of the democratic transition was right. Regrettably, since then the situation of Myanmar’s Muslim Rohingya and Christians has not improved. There is now strong evidence that the crimes against the Rohingya could amount to genocide. Last year, in this very Chamber, you said there is no real border between external and internal events, and so there must be no real border between our external and internal action. I agreed with you then, and I still do today.
The people who committed the brutal attacks on Paris and Brussels were radicalised because they saw the world divided between us and them. We must defeat this pernicious ideology, but in order to do so we must shape our actions to demonstrate our values. I urge you today to put the situation in Myanmar back on the agenda. If no progress is made in the coming weeks with the new government, then we must be prepared to reintroduce a tough sanctions policy."@en1
