to the Commission
Considering the European Parliament's resolution of 27 September 2007 on Burma (P6_TA(2007)0420), the condemnation by the UN Human Rights Council to the reaction of the military regime to the protests in Burma, TOTAL Oil company's involvement and investment in Burma including a joint venture with the military regime on the Yadana pipeline, and the French President's request for French companies to stop investing in Burma,
- —will the Commission reconsider and renegotiate the current interinstitutional contract agreement with TOTAL Oil for fuelling all institutional vehicles?
- —Will the Commission amend Directive 2004/18/EC[1] to include a reference to ethical considerations in the criteria for awarding public contracts on behalf of the EU institutions?
