".
The EU is committed to negotiating a new framework agreement with Russia to continue developing EU-Russia relations. Russia is an important partner of the EU. I support cooperation to deal with common challenges through a balanced, results-oriented approach, based on democracy and the rule of law. We should share not only economic and commercial interests, but also the objective of close cooperation at a global level and in relation to common neighbouring countries, in accordance with international law. Therefore, the EU and Russia must intensify their negotiations on a new partnership and cooperation agreement that is broad, wide-ranging and legally binding. This agreement must go beyond economic cooperation and also integrate the areas of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights. I support the objective of Russian accession to the WTO to help this country to attract more foreign investment and diversify its economy. Russia’s establishment of a customs union with Belarus and Kazakhstan may put additional obstacles in the Russian Federation’s path towards WTO membership."@en1
