".
Just today, we have approved a recommendation to the Council with draft negotiating directives for a new agreement with Russia. Following internal EU discussions, the Commission then held exploratory talks with Russia, which have now resulted in broad consensus on a general approach.
As a result of the last EU-Russia Summit in Sochi, we were able to agree on the following. Firstly, the aim is to conclude a new, legally-binding, very broad and comprehensive agreement, which should be durable and capable of facilitating the future development of relations. Secondly, we would agree to avoid a legal vacuum. That means no withdrawal from the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement that exists at the moment. We are both committed to implementing the ‘roadmaps for the four common spaces’.
This agreement should adopt a strategic approach to the relationship and it should emphasise that respect for common values represents an essential basis. It should also build on the objectives of these common spaces. In particular, we want to include the further development of our trade relations, depending on the progress of Russia’s accession to the WTO. Of course, as I said before we want to further consolidate the energy relationship, on the basis of the most important principles, which are reciprocity, fairness and equality."@en1
