We consider the 1D viscous Burgers equation with a control localised in a finite interval. It is proved that, for any ε>0, one can find a time T of order logε-1 such that any initial state can be steered to the ε-neighbourhood of a given trajectory at time T. This property combined with an earlier result on local exact controllability shows that the Burgers equation is globally exactly controllable to trajectories in a finite time. We also prove that the approximate controllability to arbitrary targets does not hold even if we allow infinite time of control.
