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.
