The BCN has just received the following news:

Leaders Myanmar are not allowed into the European Union
ANP154 3 BUI 93 CONENRAADTS 8131
EU24 MYANMAR ; EU-MYANMAR-VISUM
Leaders of Myanmar are not allowed into the European Union
THE HAGUE (ANP) - Members of the military junta in Myanmar (Burma) wil not
be getting visa's for the European Union. The EU-ministers of Foreign
Affairs wil decide on monday to this measure as a reaction to the continuing
repression and violations of human rights in the Asian country.
With this decision the EU is following the example of the United States of
America, that announced forbidding travelling into the USA by leaders of the
SLORC. Rangoon in return forbade American citizens from going to Myanmar.
EU-diplomats in Brussel are now finalizing the visa-measure. Earlier
pressure-method did result to their wish. The EU-developmentfund ended in
1993 already aid to Myanmar. Also the Netherlands cut aid to Rangoon in that
time.
