"Mr President, I certainly could not vote against this European Parliament document calling for greater consideration to be given to the enclave of Kaliningrad, which will soon be completely surrounded by European Union territories. A discussion on Kaliningrad will include mention of the Russian Federation and expression of our opinions on relations between the Russian Federation and the European Union. In Italy, Mr Berlusconi has clearly stated that he would like Russia to become part of the European Union as soon as possible. However, I believe – and I want to declare it publicly in this House – that we must first wait for the fruit of an association agreement, a cooperation agreement, and that the Europeans who have been separated from us for too long, in other words the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, should become part of the European Union first. Much, much later, we might be able to discuss the accession of Russia to the European Union: now is far too early."@en1
