table>(1)Council Regulation (EC) No 194/2008 (2) provides for certain measures, including restrictions on certain imports from and exports to Burma/Myanmar, a freezing of the funds and economic resources of certain individuals and entities and restrictions on financing of certain enterprises.
(2)Responding to recent developments in Burma/Myanmar, Decision 2012/225/CFSP modified Decision 2010/232/CFSP (3) in order to provide for the suspension, until 30 April 2013, of all restrictive measures except the arms embargo and the embargo on equipment which might be used for internal repression.

(3)Regulation (EC) No 194/2008 should therefore be modified accordingly to suspend most of the restrictive measures.

(4)The suspension of the freezing of funds and economic resources should be construed as allowing the release, without prior authorisation by the competent authorities, of funds and economic resources that were frozen pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 194/2008,
