lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I should first of all like to say to Mr Paasilinna that he perhaps ought always to speak without a script. It would then be easier for the interpreters, because he talks at such high speed when he has a script. I want to say that it is with great humility that I am taking part in this debate because I believe that there are few people who know what is right in this matter. We may feel extremely brave when we are about to cut off aid. At the same time, we must recognise, however, although we do not say it straight out as the Council does, that there are many in Russia who want us to stop providing the TACIS aid We are perhaps turning our backs on this section of the Russian population, upon those who might need us now, something which illustrates just how blunt a weapon sanctions are in general. I therefore think it is extremely important that we adopt the compromise amendment which was indicated by Mr Clegg and which means that we can help with a development which begins from below and works its way upwards. The need to help young people in the future is also emphasised in one of the amendments and, in the longer term, this is the only right thing to do. We must teach young people who do not know what is meant by a market economy and who cannot in any case know anything about the matter because they do not have any books about it. The opportunity must be there of learning. We cannot go in there and just apply US economic models, but I am very clear on this point about helping young people and promoting a better future."@en1
