"Mr President, I know that you conveyed your concerns over the Khodorkovsky case in a private conversation with President Medvedev. If the Khodorkovsky case was a test case for the rule of law in Russia, then we naturally have to say that the case failed. On top of this, Boris Nemtsov was arrested on 31 December. Article 31 of the Russian Constitution, however, guarantees the freedom of assembly. As you know, the Opposition organises a protest meeting every 31st of the month. As far as I can see, there are seven months in 2011 which have 31 days in them. That means there is a chance, if this continues, that events similar to the arrest of Mr Nemtsov could happen in 2011. So what joint action can the EU institutions take on this matter? Russia is a member of the Council of Europe, the OECD, the G8 and potentially a member of the WTO. I think urgent action from the European institutions is needed."@en1
