"in writing
A new drama is playing out in Burma. The junta has chosen confrontation with thousands of peaceful demonstrators. This is extremely regrettable, because it is wonderful that the population has had the courage to come out in resistance without help from outside. I support the unconditional release of Aung San Suu Kyi, U Khun Htun Oo, Ko Min Ko Naing and all other political prisoners and I support rapid democratic reforms.
The European Commission should make optimum use of the emergency funds, provided for in objective 1 of the Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights budget, so that sufficient support can be given to independent media, human rights activists and NGOs in Burma.
Further tightening of all the existing economic sanctions also seems unavoidable. I am in favour of joining with the British and American measures and imposing strict restrictions on trading activities and financial transactions with Burma.
Parliament should send a delegation to Burma to assess the situation for itself."@en1
