lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, Aung San Suu Kyi, one of the most symbolic political figures in the world, is once again taking part in the process of shaping her country. The overwhelming support which she received during her election to parliament clearly demonstrates that she carries the hopes of the Burmese people. However, I would like to make it clear that the parliament to which she was elected does not have the power to take the country in a different direction from that planned by the military. In addition, the generals have adopted a constitution which guarantees that they retain control over parliament in future. President Thein Sein could give a clear indication of how serious his desire for change is by not attempting to force the newly elected members to swear to support this obsolete constitution before they are allowed to take up their mandate. I am happy to acknowledge that a series of positive changes have taken place over the last two years. However, I agree with all my fellow Members that the country still has a long way to go. The spotlight on Aung San Suu Kyi must not blind us to the fate of other political prisoners, to the ongoing military action against parts of the population, to the misery of the refugees and to the wealth of a small elite in a desperately poor country. Is real change now on the way or will there be new setbacks? My group supports the call from Aung San Suu Kyi to suspend EU sanctions, but not to lift them permanently. This would give her country the opportunity to overcome poverty and encourage the military to continue along the road to democracy. However, it would also allow us to show that the European Parliament remains vigilant and that a return to dictatorship would have serious consequences."@en1
