lpv:spoken text	"As you said, Mr Verhofstadt, we have been raising the issue with our Russian partners and, in fact, the European Union has already publicly reacted to the proceedings against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev through the declaration by High Representative Catherine Ashton. We believe that judicial independence and the right of each and every citizen to a fair trial – as enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, to which Russia is a party – are of crucial importance to the strategic partnership between the European Union and the Russian Federation. The Rule of Law is also a cornerstone of the ‘Partnership for Modernisation’ that we are now developing with Russia. We will continue to closely follow this and raise the issue in different formats and meetings with Russia, as emphasised in the last European Union-Russia Summit on 7 December in Brussels. The European Union expects Russia to respect its international commitments in the field of human rights and also to respect the Rule of Law."@en1
