"I voted in favour of the resolution of the European Parliament of 14 December 2011 on the next EU-Russia Summit. I regret the fact that my proposal of January 2011 to invite the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitri Medvedev, to speak at a formal sitting of the European Parliament, which was accepted by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), was turned down by the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament. The Russian Federation is an important neighbour. Five Member States of the European Union share a border with it. Between Europe and Russia, there have been centuries of relations marked by remarkable successes, but also immense suffering. Our common history is indisputable. It derives from the evolution of our respective peoples, the rise and fall of empires, the links between the royal families, culture, the arts, writers, religions, especially Christianity, military combat against fascism, positioning in respect of communism, and so on. Today, Russia has been overtaken by the success of China and is rediscovering its Western roots. It is and will be the essential link in the dialogue between the West and the East, which will serve as a basis for political negotiations aimed at establishing future global governance."@en1
