lpv:translated text	"Madam President, economic relations promote not only prosperity but also peace. Russia is the great power situated closest to the EU. If Russia were again to become a threat to peace and democracy, that would be devastating for Europe’s future. That is why we have to work to promote increased trade with Russia and why we must make efforts to bring Russia into the World Trade Organisation. We must also send out the correct signals, however. Russia has recently suspended deliveries of coal and oil to Estonia. The aim was to force Estonia to yield to Moscow on an issue of domestic politics. The EU reacted feebly. Russian oil and gas for large EU countries were more important. ‘Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral’ [‘Gorge ourselves first – morality later’] was the message. The EU did not make it clear enough that Estonia is an EU country and that the Russian measures were therefore directed against the whole of the EU - a state of affairs that is unacceptable to the EU. That is not how things should happen."@en1
