Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with other EU governments on expanding the EU arms embargo to cover the sale of all equipment to the military in Burma.

​The UK continues to support and comply with the EU arms embargo, which prohibits the supply of equipment or the provision of any training that might strengthen the Burmese military's combat capability. At the EU Foreign Affairs Council on 26 February Council conclusions were adopted on Burma. The UK was instrumental in securing agreement that the embargo should be renewed and strengthened.
