Having regard to Council Decision 2010/232/CFSP of 26 April 2010 renewing restrictive measures against Burma/Myanmar (1),

Having regard to a joint proposal from the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1) Article 4 of Decision 2010/232/CFSP provides that the purchase, import and transport from Burma/Myanmar into the Union of certain specified categories of goods are to be prohibited.

(2) Article 8 of Decision 2010/232/CFSP provides that non-humanitarian aid or development programmes are to be suspended, but that exceptions are to be made for projects and programmes in support of certain specified objectives.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 194/2008 (2) gives effect to the prohibition on the purchase, import and transport of the categories of goods specified in Article 2(2) thereof.
