The Euro-Burma Office (EBO) was established in Brussels in 1997 to promote the development of democracy in Burma.

The work of the EBO is:

1. To help the Burmese democracy movement prepare for a transition to democracy;

2. To keep the international community informed about the situation in Burma.
