             EU mission to Burma 



             The European Union is spending a special mission to
             Burma for talks with the military government and the
             leader of the National League for Democracy, Aung Sang
             Suu Kyi. 

             The three officials from Finland, Portugal and the
             European Commission are due to arrive in the Burmese
             capital, Rangoon, on Tuesday. 

             Correspondents say the EU is trying to broker a political
             dialogue between the government and its opponents.
