US eases Burma sanctions

But he also said the transition in Burma remains unfinished and made clear
that a number of sanctions would remain on the books for now.

And Mr Obama said that Burma’s military- and Defense Ministry-owned entities
would not be given any of the new privileges that Washington was granting.

US companies will be asked to report on their activities in line with
international corporate governance standards, Mr Obama said, reflecting
concern about corruption in the country.

In what he called a clear message to the Burma government and military
officials, he also authorised Mr Clinton to tighten sanctions on “those
who undermine the reform process, engage in human rights abuses, contribute
to ethnic conflict or participate in military trade with North Korea.”
