"This joint motion for a resolution adopted by this Parliament, pursuant to Rule 110(2) and (4) of the Rules of Procedure, replacing the motions by the following groups: Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left and European Conservatives and Reformists, concerns the situation in Burma/Myanmar. After fifty years of guerrilla warfare and rights violations, Burma has finally shown the world signs of wanting to change its regime, moving towards establishing freedom and democracy in full compliance with the fundamental rights laid down by the United Nations. As such, I welcome the ongoing changes that give us great hope, including the release of significant numbers of political detainees, improved media and Internet freedom, the conduct of the 1 April by-elections (the Burmese Government invited observers from the European Union), the mutual rapprochement putting an end to ethnic persecution and the new legislation on freedom of assembly. I voted for this motion and urge the Burmese Government to continue its process of reforms and, in particular, to release all political prisoners, so that, in the forthcoming general elections, the democratic system will be even stronger."@en1
