lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, Ms Oomen-Ruijten, your speech has made it clear to me that the Members who recently visited Myanmar together with me and Mr Langen as part of a delegation from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have a rather different view. It is no longer possible to say that the regime is still a junta. There are moves under way towards democracy that we have experienced at first hand and seen the effects of. I believe that everyone who has been involved in the introduction of democracy on the ground in Myanmar has been impressed, relieved and filled with enthusiasm. In my opinion, this is particularly true in the light of the debate that we have just held and the developments in Syria, Mali and Egypt. What can the EU do to ensure that this process continues in Myanmar? Sympathy alone is not enough. We need to share responsibility for further development aid projects and give them our support. We should encourage the ASEAN countries and, in particular, Myanmar’s neighbour, Thailand, to continue helping, as they have already done for a long period. However, we also need to lift the sanctions. The following comment recently appeared in a newspaper: Myanmar is a gold mine with huge quantities of raw materials, gas and oil, and all of this is now available. The estimate is that growth will reach a level of 6%. We must also help to ensure – not alone, but the EU is partly responsible for this – that the growth and the wealth in what is still, in part, a very poor country does not end up in the capitals of America, Europe and China, but reaches the population. Only then will there be stable, peaceful and democratic long-term development in the country."@en1
