"Mr President, Russia is an important partner of the EU, and the EU would get even more out of its relations with Russia if the approach were genuinely strategic and sufficiently assertive between summits. Only then would we achieve results.
There are three issues to consider. Firstly, there is Russia’s membership of the World Trade Organisation. Russia’s WTO membership and free trade are in the interests of both the EU and Russia. Developments in the investment climate and the rule of law are essential components in Russia’s forward development.
Secondly, the EU and Russia have a common interest in the Arctic region, and that interest is important. The EU needs to strengthen its Arctic policy. Thirdly, visa waiver between the EU and Russia is the right goal. Russia, however, should improve its border controls and practices significantly and, in this respect, I support this very practical approach."@en1
