EU extends arms embargo on Myanmar

BRUSSELS, April 14 (KUNA) -- The EU Foreign Affairs Council Monday extended the EU's sanctions against Myanmar/Burma by one year, until 30 April 2015.
The sanctions consist in an arms embargo and an embargo on equipment that may be used for internal repression, said the Council in a statement after the end of its meeting in Luxembourg tonight.
The Council also amended the sanction against North Korea so as to take account of changes agreed at the UN. But it did not give any details about the amended sanctions. (end) nk.bs
