therein as well as the prohibitions set out in Article 2(2)
of
that Common Position were suspended until 29

extend the scope of the visa ban and assets freeze to
include further members of the military regime, the mili-
tary and security forces, the military regime's economic
interests and other individuals, groups, undertakings or
entities associated with the military regime who formu-
implement or benefit from policies that impede
late,
Burma/Myanmar's transition to democracy and their
families and associates. The Council has also decided to
enforce the prohibition on technical training or assis-
tance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance
or use of arms, munitions and military equipment,

Article 1

The list of persons set out in the Annex to Common Position
2003/297/CFSP is hereby replaced by the list set out in the
Annex.

Article 2

The suspension of the provisions of Article 2(2) of Common
Position 2003/297/CFSP, as provided for in Article 9(b) of that
Common Position, is hereby lifted.
