Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION strengthening the restrictive measures in respect of Burma/Myanmar and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(1) On 28 October 1996, the Council imposed certain restrictive measures against Burma/Myanmar by Common Position 1996/653/CFSP in view of the political situation in that country. These measures were subsequently extended and amended by Common Position 2000/346/CFSP and Common Position 2003/297/CFSP, expiring on 29 April 2004.

(2) Some of the restrictive measures imposed against Burma/Myanmar were implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000.

(3) In view of its continuing concern about the human rights situation in Burma/Myanmar, the Council has decided in its Common Position 2004/.../CFSP to extend and strengthen the restrictive measures in respect of Burma/Myanmar.

(4) In view of this, it is desirable to publish a new Regulation.

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION strengthening the restrictive measures in respect of Burma/Myanmar and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,

Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/.../CFSP renewing restrictive measures in respect of Burma/Myanmar [1],

[1] OJ L [...], [...], p. [...].

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission [2],

[2] OJ C [...], [...], p. [...].

Whereas:

(1) On 28 October 1996, the Council, concerned at the absence of progress towards democratisation and at the continuing violation of human rights in Burma/Myanmar, imposed certain restrictive measures against Burma/Myanmar by Common Position 1996/653/CFSP [3]. In view of continued severe and systematic violations of human rights by the Burmese authorities, and in particular continuing and intensified repression of civil and political rights, and the failure of those authorities to take steps towards democracy and reconciliation, the restrictive measures against Burma/Myanmar were subsequently extended several times, most recently by Common Position 2003/297/CFSP on Burma/Myanmar [4], which is due to expire on 29 April 2004. Some of the restrictive measures imposed against Burma/Myanmar were implemented at Community level by Council Regulation 1081/2000 [5].

[3] OJ L 287, 8.11.1996, p. 1.

[4] OJ L 106, 29.4.2003, p. 36, as last amended by Council Decision 2003/907/CFSP (OJ L 340, 24.12.2003, p. 81).

[5] OJ L 122, 24.5.2000, p. 29, as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2297/2003 (OJ L 340, 24.12.2003, p. 37).

(2) The military regime of Burma/Myanmar is still engaging in serious violations of human rights, including the failure to take action to eradicate the use of forced labour, and it has up to now failed to enter into substantive discussions with the democratic movement concerning a process leading to national reconciliation, respect for human rights and democracy. Moreover, the continuing detention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of the National League for Democracy supports the conclusion that the overall political situation has deteriorated. Therefore, Common Position 2004/..../CFSP stipulates that the restrictive measures against the military regime in Burma/Myanmar and those who benefit most from its misrule and those who actively frustrate the process of national reconciliation, respect for human rights and democracy should be maintained and strengthened.

(3) The restrictive measures provided for by Common Position 2004/.../CFSP include inter alia a ban on technical assistance, financing and financial assistance related to military activities, a ban on the export of equipment which might be used for internal repression, and the freezing of funds and economic resources of members of the Government of Burma/Myanmar and of any natural or legal persons, entities or bodies associated with them.

(4) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement them as far as the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community should be deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.

(5) It is desirable to align with recent practice the provisions concerning the ban on technical assistance, financing and financial assistance related to military activities, and those concerning the freezing of funds and economic resources.

(6) As regards the obligations of a credit or financial institution that receives funds transferred by third parties to the account of a listed person or entity, it should be noted that the prohibition against making funds or economic resources available shall not prevent the provisional crediting of the frozen account until the competent authorities have made a decision whether they approve the crediting or whether the funds should be the object of enforcement action against the third party that transferred them. Pending such decision the crediting should not be disclosed to the listed person or entity concerned.

(7) For the sake of clarity, a new text containing all the relevant provisions as amended should be adopted, replacing Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000, which should be repealed.

(8) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 10

The Commission and Member States shall immediately inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and shall supply each other with any other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, in particular information in respect of violation and enforcement problems and judgements handed down by national courts.
