Jakarta dismisses impact of US ban

EU to extend sanctions on Myanmar for 6 more months
LUXEMBOURG. Apr 28: European Union sanctions on Myanmar aimed at forcing the country’s military rulers to stop human rights abuses will be extended for a further she months here on Tuesday, diplomats said, reports AFP.
The move, to be approved by EU foreign ministers, reflects growing frustration among EU governments with the ruling State Law and Order Restoration Council's refusal to open negotiations with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
At the insistence of Denmark. the ministers will discuss the situation in Myanmar in the wake of United States’ decision this past week to ban new investment in the Southeast Aslan nation. An early decision to follow the US lead is not. however, expected.
Britain, the biggest foreign investor in Myanmar, has yet to reach a position on the issue.
France and Germany have also expressed reluctance In the past to impose economic sanctions.
The EU moved last October to ban members of Myanmar's ruling Junta and senior members of the military or security forces from travelling to Europe.
Contacts at ministerial or senior official level were also frozen.
The measures strengthened an existing package of sanctions that includes an embargo on the sale of arms, munitions and military equipment to Myanmar, a ban on military cooperation and the suspension of non-humanitarian aid or development projects.
The EU also agreed last month to exclude Myanmar from the generalised system of preferences (GSP) — which accords preferential access to EU markets to goods from developing countries — in protest at
Myanmar's widespread use of forced labour to promote economic development.
Meanwhile. Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas today dismissed the impact of both US sanctions against Myanmar and the US call for ASEAN to keep Myanmar out of the Southeast Asian grouping.
Alatas also played down concerns over political stability in Cambodia, saying he believed the warring partners in the fragile coalition government would be able to resolve differences "without resorting to force."
Speaking to reporters ahead of a UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) ministerial meeting. Alatas said the Myanmar was better prepared than the other candidates to meet the obligations of membership. ’
