     DECLARATION BY THE PRESIDENCY ON BEHALF OF THE EUROPEAN
     UNION ON THE RELEASE OF MRS AUNG SAN SUU KYI
     +
     The European Union welcomes the release of Mrs Aung San Suu Kyi, winner of the Nobel
Peace Prize, with great satisfaction.
     The European Union considers the decision to end Mrs Aung San Suu Kyi's period of
house arrest to be a first step on the path towards national reconciliation and protection of
human rights, matters on which the EU has long been urging action by the Burmese
authorities.
     The European Union very much hopes that this progress will be  followed by other equally
necessary developments in those fields.
     The EFTA Member States and the Central and Eastern European countries associated
with the Union align themselves with this statement.
