lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the biggest single project between the EU and Russia is the creation of a common European economic area. It has been hard making that a reality, as it has been a matter of a bilateral project between the EU and Russia. At the same time both sides have been developing relations of cooperation with other states. Thus, Russia has recently concluded an agreement with Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan on the formation of a common economic area. The EU has its own separately agreed arrangements with these countries. In my opinion it would be wise to try and bring together these arrangements for cooperation by establishing a broader, multilateral, economic area of cooperation, with the involvement of not only the EU and Russia but also that of Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan as well as any other of the Newly Industrialised Countries willing to participate. Where appropriate the European Economic Area, which was established between the EU and EFTA, could be taken as a model. An arrangement agreed along such lines would be well suited to the EU’s evolving broader European policy. The EU’s new, broader European policy also offers opportunities for the development of cross-border cooperation where the EU shares a border with Russia. The Commission proposal for a new financial instrument for neighbourly cooperation will eliminate those problems which we have had harmonising internal and external financial schemes. The Russian authorities must familiarise themselves with the new financing scheme in good time so that we can be sure it will work right from the start. Finally, my greetings go to the Russian Government. Can you ensure that human rights are implemented in Chechnya and do your very best to seek a peaceful solution to this region’s problems!"@en1
