"Mr President, the Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi won 43 of the 45 seats in the by-elections. Despite all the celebrations, we must not forget that the military is still in power. The by-elections only involved 7% of all the mandates. The current constitution ensures that the military retains its supremacy. The President must come from within the armed forces and the ministries of the interior, defence and border control are reserved for members of the military.
Since 2010, Burma has been creating a civilian image for itself. However, it still has a long way to go before achieving true democracy. For this reason, we must be very careful in our trade relationships with Burma. The arms embargoes and travel bans for those who have committed violations of human rights must remain in place. Nevertheless, an important process is starting in Burma. Mr Cameron has already been there, but Baroness Ashton has not yet visited. This does not present a good picture of the EU, which wants to assert its status as a global player."@en1
