Justifications:

The Myanmar Directorate of Defense Procurement is a department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) which also acts as a Myanmar entity in charge of arms and military equipment procurement for the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw). The Directorate of Defense Procurement falls under the authority of the Commander- in-chief of the Tatmadaw, Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing, and is therefore linked to several EU-listed individuals and entities, including Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing.

As such, the Directorate of Defense Procurement is organically under the control of the Myanmar Armed Forces including since the 1 Feb 2021 coup. It enables the Myanmar military to carry out violence against Myanmar civilians and therefore plays a key role in fuelling the spiral of violence that has engulfed Myanmar/Burma since the coup.
