lpv:translated text	"Mr President, allow me to begin by saying that I fully support the calls made in the motion for a resolution. It must be beyond doubt that there is a need to tighten up the EU’s sanctions against Burma. With the arrest of Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi and 19 other members of her party, the military junta has of course again shown that it does not wish to improve conditions of democracy in the country. The junta’s statement that Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested for the sake of her own safety is an insult to the intelligence of any thinking person, and I entirely agree with Mrs McKenna that we must immediately demand to know where she is, and obtain access to her. It can therefore only be hoped that more stringent international sanctions will cause the military junta to mend its ideas. I think it important that the Council should intensify its demands in terms of human rights and continue to support the UN’s special envoy. It should demand that all prisoners be released unconditionally and that a genuine dialogue with the opposition be resumed, for it is of course only through dialogue involving all the relevant political actors that a solid and legitimate democracy might be re-established."@en1
