BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's executive in Brussels will hold a meeting this week with the authors of the U.N. report on Myanmar, which said on Monday that the southeast Asian state's military had "genocidal intent" in action against the Rohingya.

"Those responsible for alleged serious and systemic human rights violation must be held to account," said a spokeswoman for the European Commission. "Any further EU steps is something that would have to be discussed with the member states."
