lpv:translated text	"I am pleased to witness the democratic transition taking place in Burma, following the parliamentary elections of 1 April. After 50 long years of military rule, the Burmese authorities are showing signs of openness to free and democratic elections, as well as mutual rapprochement with the election of Aung San Suu Kyi and activists belonging to her party. In addition to these developments, I would also like to stress the gradual release of political prisoners and the importance that President Thein Sein intends to place on ending ethnic wars in the country. However, more steps need to be taken, including the need to amend the Burmese constitution so as to remove the military’s role in civilian politics. The EU must now invest its full support in this transitional process, including creating senior management positions in several areas, and supporting education and sectors of the economy. I therefore believe it is important for the EU to review certain sanctions imposed on the country, as a way of initiating a constructive dialogue."@en1
