"Madam President, I would like to raise the problem of the murder of the Russian journalist Maxim Zuev. Mr Zuev was killed about a week ago in Kaliningrad. He was a well-known journalist and blogger. This is not the first case of a journalist being killed in Russia. Since the year 2000, there have been at least a dozen such cases. This is a disturbing phenomenon, because we know that if there is no freedom of speech, and if journalists are not able to work, there is no freedom at all, and there is no democracy. In our dialogue with Russia, we should always draw attention to this.
I hope to organise a seminar in the European Parliament this year, provided I obtain the consent of my delegation for Russian affairs and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I think every one of us, in talks at various levels with our Russian partners, should emphasise that freedom of the media and freedom for journalists to do their work is the foundation for dialogue and freedom both in Russia and in the European Union."@en1
