"Mr President, close cooperation with Russia is vital if the international community is to compel Iran to restrict the application of nuclear energy to purely civil purposes. I trust that the Council and the Commission will clearly put this message across to President Putin. After all, what matters now is for yesterday's concessions to Iran to be realised. In this context, I should also like to touch upon a complaint made by President Putin. According to him, Russian companies have had sanctions imposed on them for supplying the nuclear sector in Iran. However, according to Putin's sources, European and American companies got off scot-free having made identical transactions. I would like to ask the Council and the Commission if this serious allegation concerning Europe's contribution is true. I should like to offer the Council and Commission a second, equally urgent item for the Summit's agenda. In the Gulf of Kerch, a serious border conflict between the Ukraine and Russia is at risk of escalating out of control. The immediate cause is the construction of a dam from the Russian peninsula Taman to the Ukrainian island of Tuzla in the Gulf of Kerch. We from the European side should make an urgent appeal to both parties for a peaceful settlement of this thorny territorial dispute. I also concur with what Mr Staes said in connection with the request that Europe should do everything possible in connection with what has happened to Arjan Erkel."@en1
