"The European Union gave a display of unity at the Samara Summit. This is to be welcomed and bodes well for the future, but the question arises as to how long-lasting such a policy will prove to be over the years to come. Russia possesses abundant energy resources. Might this not create the conditions that would allow the European Union to be divided into so-called better and worse partners according to Russian criteria? Is our memory so short that we have already forgotten about the gas pipeline to be laid along the bed of the Baltic Sea? It is a pity the European Union was not united on that issue, but individual Member States’ interests were too great and too contradictory for unity to be achieved. All too often we talk of unity or compromise as it suits us. This does not augur well for the future of a European Constitutional Treaty. Nonetheless, we should rejoice in what we have achieved."@en1
