"As usual, the interests of the large economic and financial groups in Europe are at the fore in this resolution. It is in this context that we must view the pressure put on Russia (which also occurs with several other countries) to join the World Trade Organisation, in order to promote ‘a level playing field for business communities on both sides’ and ‘liberalise trade in the global economy’
while facilitating foreign investment and renouncing any ‘protectionist measures’. The resolution thus reels off the repetitive old EU primer of neoliberal and meddling policies.
In this case, however, in addition to access to investments and markets, there is also the central concern of access to, and control of, sources and flows of energy, as well as other raw materials, especially rare earths, of which there is a serious shortage in the EU. Therefore, a call is made for ‘close cooperation over the supply of raw materials and rare earths’, especially those considered critical. So-called ‘security’ issues should also be noted, including ‘the establishment of the missile defence shield’. We must remember that Romania, a member of the EU and NATO, has expressed willingness to host this system, which constitutes a threat to Russian security and to peace in Europe."@en1
