Title: The Brussels Follies
Description: "The European Commission raises eyebrows by commissioning two ?Burma experts,? known for their military regime sympathy, to write a report for a Brussels meeting. European officials had to do a lot of not-so-nifty diplomatic footwork to explain a meeting in Brussels called ?Burma Day 2005 (page 15).? It was an exercise in damage control in the face of a chorus of complaints by pro-democracy and human rights activists with other critics, who effectively thought it was more a Day of Shame.

Demonstrators protest against the Burma Day meeting EU sanctions against the military rulers will stay in place. But the 25 nation bloc is also working on an unprecedented aid strategy for Burma, including funding for health, education and poverty alleviation projects. The EU?s determination to provide assistance for Burma?s long-suffering population was highlighted at a ?Burma Day? meeting organized in Brussels by the European Commission in early April..."
