"I welcomed this document because Russia, which is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, shares responsibility with the EU for maintaining global stability, and because enhanced cooperation and good neighbourly relations between the EU and Russia are of major importance for the stability, security and prosperity of Europe and beyond. The conclusion of a Strategic Partnership Agreement between the EU and the Russian Federation remains of the utmost importance for the further development and intensification of cooperation between the two partners. However, concerns remain about Russia’s respect for, and protection of, fundamental and human rights, the rule of law, independence of the judiciary, political control of the media, repressive measures taken against journalists and representatives of the opposition and the fairness of elections. The document stresses the importance of energy security, and Russia’s energy policy vis-à-vis Member States and countries in the common neighbourhood will show Russia’s true readiness to follow the path of modernisation and democratisation. The supply of natural resources should not be used as a political tool. The principles of interdependence and transparency should be the basis of cooperation, together with equal access to markets, infrastructure and investment."@en1
