"Madam President, the forthcoming summit in Warsaw brings hope for a revival of EU relations with its eastern partners. However, such dynamics require a clear definition of the strategic interests and objectives of the European Union, as well as the development of a robust strategy for their achievement. I believe that the eastern partnership should become a useful instrument for mutual benefit based on common interests and the respect of each other’s obligations.
The Warsaw Summit should primarily bring more clarity into the negotiations concerning the association agreement and free trade with Ukraine. At the same time, it will be necessary to accentuate the EU’s interest in the strengthening of economic and democratic reforms in that country. We cannot remain indifferent, for instance, to the treatment of ex-Prime Minister Tymoshenko in this neighbouring country, a country which shows much promise.
Besides economic issues, the key areas that will have to be discussed should include energy, investment projects, security and environmental issues. A number of sensitive issues are still open. We are well aware that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue has been left unresolved for a long time from the European side too, and I believe that the tension there is rising. On the one hand, there are certain claims on the side of Azerbaijan; on the other hand, there is Armenia of course, which is supported by Russia. We must find a prudent political solution."@en1
