Mr President, I am very happy to answer that. I just thought that the debate was going on for too long.
Russia is not in the normal ENP. We have a special financial instrument – ENPI – the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument. Why? Because Russia is a huge country and feels it deserves a special strategic partnership. We have worked with Russia on the four common spaces, and for every summit we go through the agenda and the different questions, such as the one you mentioned on the border agreement with Estonia and Latvia. Other questions, such as on gas and energy, will certainly be important points. Those are bilateral issues of the countries with Russia. We have tried to facilitate those negotiations, but we have heard that for the time being those parties prefer to work on the issue themselves.
I see at least some sort of progress, but I am cautious because it will take time.
I did not forget to answer your question, but the debate was very long and there were so many interventions, all of them very valuable."@en1
