lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the right of NGOs to operate freely provides a guarantee that civil liberties will be respected and that political systems will adhere to democratic principles. Unfortunately, there have recently been alarming developments in the Russian Federation that have met with international opposition. The Russian Duma passed a bill imposing restrictions on NGOs at first reading last week. This bill will make it more difficult or even impossible for Russian NGOs to obtain foreign funding, and the new restrictions will apply to as many as 450 000 organisations in Russia. One of the arguments in favour of passing the new bill is that these organisations are a tool used by third countries to conduct foreign policy in Russia. This is an absurd accusation, which makes a mockery of the concept of democracy. We are being confronted with incomprehensible practices that are alien to the European tradition. Europe should rid itself of the notion that the changes taking place in Russia are taking the country closer to democracy. Russia is moving ever further away from democratic standards, and we should not stand idly by and watch fundamental rights be denied in a country that has a privileged relationship with the European Union."@en1
