87/321


Siboney, I think of you while I fell asleep to the quiet song of the palm trees

I dream of how I love you, and how precious you are to me

Siboney, I dream of you while I fell asleep to the quiet song of the palm trees

Soboney of my dreams, if you dont hear the complaint in my voice

Siboney, if I dont see you soon. Ill die of love

Soboney of my dreams, I stay at home and anxiously await you

Siboney, if I dont see you soon. Ill die of love

Hear the echo of my song resonating in the glass

Please, dont get lost in dark wilderness

Soros: EU needs common treasury to beat slump04:46 AM Sep 16, 2011

LONDON - Billionaire investor George Soros has warned Europe's debt crisis risks

triggering another Great Depression unless euro zone leaders adopt a series of

radical policy measures, including the creation of a common treasury.

Mr Soros, in an article for the New York Review of Books and Reuters, says

policymakers must prepare for the possibility that Greece, Portugal and perhaps

Ireland will have to default and leave the euro zone."It appears the authorities have

reached the end of the road with their policy of 'kicking the can down the road'," he

says.

"Even if a catastrophe can be avoided, one thing is certain: The pressure to reducedeficits will push the euro zone into prolonged recession. This will have incalculable

political consequences."A growing number of policymakers, as well as market

economists, are convinced it is a matter of time before Greece, which keeps falling

behind on its fiscal targets after two EU/IMF bailouts, will have to default.

Italy and Spain are under pressure from bond markets over their large public and

bank debts and weak growth, a cause for particular concern - both economies are

too large to be saved by the European rescue fund that has been used in bailouts for

Greece, Portugal and Ireland.As well as preparing for a default and euro zone exit by

those three "peripheral nations", Mr Soros recommends four bold policy measures:

- Bank deposits have to be protected to prevent bank runs in weaker states;

- Some banks in the defaulting countries have to be kept functioning to keep their

economies afloat;

- The European banking system would be recapitalised and put under European, as

distinct from national, supervision;

- Government bonds of other deficit countries would have to be protected.

Meanwhile German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday bluntly rejected euro zone

bonds as a solution to the currency area's sovereign debt crisis, saying that

"collectivising debts" would not solve the problem.Speaking a day after the head of

the European Commission raised financial market hopes by pledging to present

options soon for issuing such common bonds, Ms Merkel said: "Eurobonds are

absolutely wrong."In order to bring about common interest rates, you need similar

competitiveness levels, similar budget situations. You don't get them by collectivising

debts," she said.The Chancellor, facing rising German public opposition to euro zone

bailouts, said there would be no quick and easy way out of the debt crisis, only a

step-by-step process of individual countries putting their fiscal house in order.

Underlining the gravity of the crisis, the EU Commission warned yesterday that

growth in the euro zone will come to a "near standstill" by the end of the year due

to the European debt fiasco and the turmoil in financial markets. The commission

forecast growth in the 17 euro countries would be only 0.1 per cent in the fourth

quarter, down from 0.2 per cent in the third. For the wider 27-nation EU, the

Myanmar lifts bans on foreign news websitesThu, Sep 15, 2011

By Aung Hla Tun

YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar lifted bans on prominent news websites on Thursday,

including some run by critics of the army-dominated government, and unblocked

online video portal YouTube, the latest signs of possible reforms in one of Asia's

most reclusive states.

Bans were lifted on websites for several news organizations including Reuters, along

with The Bangkok Post, Singapore Straits Times and other regional newspapers, and

the Burmese language services of the Voice of America, British Broadcasting Corp

and the exiled-run Democratic Voice of Burma.

Reuters and several other news websites were blocked at the peak of an army

crackdown on monk-led protests in 2007. Since then, those sites displayed a

common message from state telecoms group Myanmar Post and

Telecommunications (MPT).

"This website is blocked by the MPT," it said.

That disappeared on Thursday, a day after a U.S. special envoy ended his first trip to

the country. It also coincided with the United Nations' "International Day of

Democracy," an event celebrated by Nobel laureate and democracy leader Aung San

Suu Kyi in the commercial capital Yangon.

"Changes are on the horizon in Myanmar," she told supporters outside her party's

headquarters.

However, television remains strictly controlled by the government and foreign

journalists are still mostly barred from legally reporting in the country. Most expect

Western sanctions to remain in place until an estimated 2,100 political prisoners are

released.

Every song, book, cartoon and planned piece of art still requires approval by censors

rooting out political messages and criticisms of Myanmar's authoritarian system.

One editor of a weekly newspaper described the reopening of the websites as "a big

improvement in the media policy of the new government.

"We can have access to these websites, but the connection is still rather slow most

of the time," he said, declining to be identified by name. "Let's wait to see how long

it will last."

Rare overtures by Myanmar's rulers toward liberalization have stirred speculation of

possible reforms in the resource-rich country, blighted by 49 years of military ruleand starved of capital.

Myanmar last year held its first elections in two decades after which the military

nominally handed power to civilians -- a process widely criticized as a sham by the

West.

Other overtures include calls for peace with armed ethnic separatists, presidential

meetings with foreign delegations, some tolerance of criticism and more

communication with Suu Kyi, who was freed last year from 15 years of house arrest.

In one gesture, Myanmar's state-run newspapers last month dropped back-page

banners attacking Western media.

SAN FRANCISCO US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday urged

Myanmar to take "concrete actions" to improve human rights, voicing concerns

about the new government's record despite its outreach.

Clinton, addressing a joint news conference after talks with Australian leaders, said

that the new US coordinator on Myanmar, Derek Mitchell, had "productive meetings"

on his first visit to the country this week.

But she added: "Frankly, we have serious questions and concerns across a wide

range of issues."

She said that the military-backed government in the country formerly known as

Burma continued to hold some 2,000 political prisoners and to mistreat ethnic

minorities and the media.

"I would urge the Burmese government to follow its words and commitments with

concrete actions that lead to genuine reform, national reconciliation and respect for

human rights," Clinton said.

Myanmar's then military rulers last year held rare elections and later nominally

handed over power to civilians. The opposition and the United States branded the

moves as a sham meant to cement the military's control.

But the government has also taken gestures including releasing opposition leader

Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace laureate who had spent most of the previous two

decades under house arrest.

President Barack Obama's administration in 2009 opened a dialogue with Myanmar,

concluding that the previous policy of seeking to isolate the regime has failed. But

the United States has said it will only lift sanctions once it sees progress.

U.S.: Myanmar Sanctions to RemainWall Street Journal

A new U.S. envoy to Myanmar said U.S. sanctions against the military-dominated

country will remain in place for now, but that the U.S. is ready to respond if it sees

"credible" steps toward reform.

The remarks, at the end of a multiday trip by U.S. Special Representative Derek

Mitchell, come at a time of rising hope that Myanmar's government is pressing ahead

with reforms that could result in greater political and economic freedom in the

troubled Southeast Asian nation. But they also reflect the increasingly difficult

position for the U.S., which is facing increased pressure from investors and other

opponents of sanctions who believe the time has come for a more conciliatory

approach from the U.S. governmentincluding a faster timetable for easing

sanctions.

On Wednesday at a news conference in Yangon, Mr. Mitchell said, "It is clear from

my visit that there are heightened expectations and hopes that change, real change,

may be on the horizon" and he called on Myanmar's leaders to "prove the skeptics

wrong."

"If we see actions that are credible, the United States will respond." he said. But he

also said many people remain skeptical true reform is under way.

Mr. Mitchell's trip was the latest in a series of recent visits by U.S. officials including

Sen. John McCain as the U.S. tries to reach a breakthrough in relations between the

two nations, which have been toxic for years amid reports of widespread human-

rights abuses and signs of a possible military buildup there.

Yangon care center on Sunday.People familiar with the meetings say U.S. officials have repeatedly promised

concessions to the country's new civilian government, which was elected in a vote

widely decried as a sham by Western observers late last year, if it agrees to release

some 2,000 political prisoners or take other significant steps. The overtures mirror

the position of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has indicated a

willingness to support eased sanctions if such major steps are taken. But Myanmar

officials have refused or deferred action, these people say.

Myanmar leaders have made a number of less-dramatic moves recently, though,

which are raising hopes it could be on a path toward gradual change. That has led

to increasing calls from investors and some political leaders in the U.S. and

Southeast Asia for a more conciliatory U.S. approach, including a possible relaxation

of trade and economic sanctions put in place since the late 1990s that include

prohibitions on new U.S. investment in Myanmar and bans on imports from the

country.


176/321


Ye Htut, director-general of the Ministry of Information's information and public-

relations department, said the Myanmar government was "encouraged" by Mr.

Mitchell's comments and expressed hope "the international community will recognize

and support the government's reforms."

Myanmar's latest steps include allowing Ms. Suu Kyi, who was released from seven

years of house arrest in November 2010, to hold modest rallies and meet with

President Thein Sein and other officials in recent weeks. The government recently

asked the International Monetary Fund to help it rationalize its byzantine foreign-

exchange system, which involves multiple exchange rates, and it is working on a

labor law that would expand workers' rights to assemble.

The government says it has also formed a human-rights commission in recent days

and local journalists say it has eased censorship of the news media. Activists working

in the country say they have been pleasantly surprised by the new government's

willingness to debate economic problems in the country and accept foreign advice on

topics such as labor law and other possible reforms.

"I don't think we've seen this level of political momentum for 22 years," said David

Mathieson, a researcher at Human Rights Watch in Thailand. "I think a lot of it isgenuine."

U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, a Democrat from Virginia and chairman of the East Asian and

Pacific Affairs Subcommittee, on Monday called for U.S. officials to "be prepared to

adjust our policy" toward Myanmar in light of "clear indications of a new openness

from the government." Western investors, who have long wanted to get back into

Myanmar, are also calling for a change.

"There still are human-right abuses, don't get me wrong. But there's a chicken-or-

egg issue," said Andrew Yates, head of sales for international equities at Asia Plus

Securities in Bangkok. Myanmar officials "have made a step in the right direction, or

at least are looking to make steps in the right direction," he said. "At some point

you've got to actually give them something."

Mr. Mathieson, the Human Rights Watch researcher, said it may be time for a "more

sophisticated debate" about sanctions that could lead to easing rules like ones that

block tradethat aren't working, while maintaining or tightening financial sanctions

that target known wrong-doers in the country, among other steps.

But the harshest critics of Myanmar's government, including some exiled dissidents,

say Myanmar's latest moves may be little more than window dressing to fool

Western leaders, and could be reversed later. They say they have also documented

new human-rights abuses linked to the government's intensifying conflicts with

ethnic minority groups along Myanmar's borders with China and Thailand.

These dissidents are counseling U.S. officials to stand firm unless the Myanmar

government capitulates in key areas, including the release of all political prisoners,

an end to the armed conflicts, and substantially more dialogue between the armed

forces and opposition forces led by Ms. Suu Kyi.

"We are seeing some movement in the country," but even so, "we can't find any

reason to give them rewards" yet, said Aung Din, executive director for the U.S.

Campaign for Burma, a dissident group in Washington that uses Myanmar's former

name.

"Some people say Myanmar is not serious about changing its political and economic

system. But we sincerely believe that the future will prove the skeptics wrong," the

Information Ministry's Mr. Ye said in an email Wednesday.

U.S. officials are wary of giving in too early, since the sanctions remain powerful

bargaining chips. In remarks during a trip to Southeast Asia in July, U.S. Secretary of

State Hillary Clinton emphasized the need for more substantive steps, including

steps by Myanmar to respect United Nations resolutions barring trade in sensitive

military hardware with North Korea.

Other possible steps U.S. officials could consider include agreeing to stop referring to

the country by its colonial-era name, Burma, which is a source of great

embarrassment to Myanmar leaders. It could also agree to support a controversial

Myanmar bid to take over the rotating chair of the regional Association of Southeast

Asian Nations as it hopes to do in 2014.

Mr. Mitchell, the new envoy, could play an influential role going forward. A former

senior defense department official, he was appointed to the postwhich holds the


178/321


rank of ambassadorafter it sat empty following its creation under 2008 legislation

that tightened sanctions against Myanmar.

He has made clear he supports sanctions, but as also indicated an interest in other

approaches. In 2007, he coauthored a paper published in Foreign Affairs that said

U.S. policy towards the country was "stuck," and called for more engagement with

Myanmar's neighbors to encourage change. Simply reinforcing the U.S. strategy "of

isolation and the existing sanctions regime will not achieve the desired results," the

article noted.

Mr. Mitchell's trip to Myanmar in recent days included meetings with government

ministers in the Myanmar capital of Naypyitaw, as well as opposition leaders.

"My government interlocutors repeatedly stated that this country had opened a new

chapter," he said. While the U.S. "recognized and welcomed" recent gestures

including the government's willingness to meet with Ms. Suu Kyi, "many within the

international community remain skeptical about the government's commitment to

genuine reform and reconciliation," he said.
