renewing the restrictive measures in respect of Burma/Myanmar and repealing Regulation (EC) No

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com-
munity, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,

Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/423/CFSP of
26 April 2004 renewing restrictive measures in respect of
Burma/Myanmar (1),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(2)

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 (2).
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 authori-
ties to take steps towards democracy and reconciliation,
the restrictive measures against Burma/Myanmar were
subsequently extended several times, most recently by
Common
Burma/
Myanmar, which is due to expire on 29 April 2004.

Some of
Burma/Myanmar were implemented at Community level
by Council Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000 (4).

The restrictive measures provided for by Common Posi-
tion 2004/423/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.

These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and,
therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competi-
tion, Community legislation is necessary to implement
them as far as the Community is concerned. For the
purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Com-
munity 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.

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.

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repealed.

In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this
this Regulation should enter
