The EU has agreed to extend its sanctions regime against Myanmar/Burma until 30 April 2016. The sanctions impose an arms embargo on the country, with exceptions made for non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, equipment for use in clearing mines, and protective or non-lethal clothing and equipment for use by UN and EU personnel.

The sanctions are extended by Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/666 amending Council Decision 2013/184/CFSP.
