Proposal for a Council Regulation prohibiting the sale, supply and export to Burma/ Myanmar of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism, and freezing the funds of certain persons related to important governmental functions in that country  /* COM/2000/0299 final */  

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION prohibiting the sale, supply and export to Burma/ Myanmar of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism, and freezing the funds of certain persons related to important governmental functions in that country(presented by the Commission)EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM(1) On the occasion of its re-examination of the measures against Burma / Myanmar in April 2000, the Council decided that, in addition to the existing measures, there should be both a prohibition on the exportation of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism, and a freeze of the funds of senior members of the State Peace and Development Council, their families, Burmese authorities in the tourism sector, senior members of the military, the Government or the security forces who formulate, implement or benefit from policies that impede Burma/ Myanmar's transition to democracy, and their families.(2) The attached proposal is for a Council Regulation implementing these measures. As regards the prohibition on the exportation of equipment which might be used for internal repression and terrorism, it should be noted that its scope is identical to that of Council Regulation (EC) No 2158/1999, concerning the exportation of such equipment to Indonesia.(3) The freezing of funds measure concerns the funds of individuals living in Burma/ Myanmar, rather than those of companies and institutions operating in the Community. In view of this, it is not expected that there will be a need to grant many exemptions to the freezing. In case an exemption should be made, it is proposed that it should be dealt with through a unified procedure.(4) The proposed Regulation will apply until it will be repealed, in order to limit the workload of the Community institutions to what is necessary. It has, however, been noted that the Common Position further to which this Regulation is proposed, foresees a measure for six months. In view of this, the Commission undertakes to propose that the Regulation be repealed, if the Council decides against extension of the relevant provisions of that Common Position.Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION prohibiting the sale, supply and export to Burma/ Myanmar of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism, and freezing the funds of certain persons related to important governmental functions in that countryTHE 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 Common Position 2000/ .../ CFSP of ...
