brussels: eu foreign ministers agreed monday to begin easing sanctions against myanmar to encourage reform but will await further positive signals before calling an end to restrictive measures, diplomats said.

"we will begin by suspending some visa bans as a first stage from today," said a diplomat speaking on condition of anonymity as eu foreign ministers began a day of talks in brussels.

lifting all sanctions will be "conditional on the continuation of positive action by the authorities," the source added.

eu foreign policy chief catherine ashton hailed "the quite extraordinary changes in the last weeks and months" and announced she would visit the country in april as she went into the ministerial meetings.

the 27-nation bloc has been divided over how soon to lift sanctions, with some insisting on waiting for by-elections on april 1, which will see a historic bid for parliament by nobel peace laureate aung san suu kyi.

ashton said the european union had been in contact with her on the issue.

the four proposals were put forward by the strategic committees for rehabilitation and future development and for setting up a water resource management system.

they are needed to help restore the confidence of thai and foreign investors and to ensure the prevention of a recurrence of the floods in the long term, mr atchaporn said.

the council of state must give advice to the cabinet on whether the issuance of bills and decrees is constitutional. it was not clear why the announcement was made by the council of state and not the cabinet spokesman.

they decrees relate to the management debt owed by the financial institutions development fund (fidf), empower the bank of thailand to provide 300 billion baht for low interest soft loans for flood affected manufacturers, allow the ministry of finance to seek 350 billion baht in loans for financing projects to rebuild the country, and establishment of a 50 billion baht insurance fund.

“the restoration of investors’ confidence, the rehabilitation and rebuilding the nation and preventing flooding of future projects must be rapidly started and therefore the issuance of these four decrees is necessary,” said mr atchaporn.

the secretary general of the cabinet would submit these financial decrees to his majesty the king for royal endorsement, he added.
