Derfor mener vi, at Den Europæiske Union er forpligtet til at gøre en stor indsats på internationalt plan, for at man gennem såvel sanktioner som påbud om forhandling med lederne af den demokratiske opposition kan genoprette demokratiet, den normale udfoldelse af retten til frihed for Burmas folk, og holde op med at tale om situationer, der så bedrøveligt minder om begivenheder i fortiden.
We therefore believe that the European Union is obliged to take strong action at international level so that, both through sanctions and through imposing a negotiation with leaders of the democratic opposition, democracy and the normal development of the right to freedom of the people of Burma may be restored and so that we can stop talking about situations which remind us with such sadness of the facts of the past.
