".
The clear conclusion of the debate that took place in committee on this report was that, owing to the recent enlargement, the EU now has a different notion and a different memory that informs its relations with Russia.
In addition to the EU’s traditional concerns as regards democratisation, respecting freedoms, complying with international standards, advocating an economic model in which free initiative is not to be confused with the absolute freedom of the few or with the freedom that varies according to who is in power, the EU is now discovering the concerns of most of its most recent new Members. These concerns must, unreservedly, form an integral part of our relations with Russia.
Recent news can scarcely, moreover, be described as encouraging. After some initial concern, followed by an appropriate response, the international community now has firm reasons to be concerned at the situation in Russia and with its plans on the international stage.
That said, it must not go unmentioned that good relations with our enormous neighbour are of the highest importance."@en1
