	Council Regulation (EC) No 194/2008 provides for certain measures to be taken in relation to Myanmar/Burma, including restrictions on certain exports from Myanmar/Burma and a freezing of the assets of certain individuals and entities. The Council has decided, as a means of encouraging positive changes to continue, to lift all restrictive measures with the exception of the arms embargo and the embargo on equipment which might be used for internal repression. The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Commission propose to maintain those restrictive measures in this proposed Regulation and repeal Council Regulation (EC) No 194/2008.
