"The EU and Russia have a major responsibility regarding the stability, security and prosperity of Europe as a whole.
One of the purposes of cooperation between the EU and Russia within the Quartet ought to be to put pressure on Israel to abide by the agreements, to halt the construction of settlements and to resume negotiations to find a swift solution for the creation of an independent Palestinian state. In our view, external relations ought to be based on respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, and not on creating spheres of influence.
We welcome the continuing exchange of points of view on human rights in Russia. However, we take note of the concerns expressed by Russia regarding infringements of human rights in the EU, especially with regard to Russian-speaking minorities in the Baltic States.
I abstained from the vote on this resolution because the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left is opposed to any initiative that might lead to a new arms race. We are opposed to the US plans to install a missile shield on EU Member State territory. We also reject any form of USA-Russia-EU-NATO collaboration in constructing a missile defence system."@en1
