"This year marks 20 years since the disintegration of the USSR, an event which redrew the geopolitical map of the whole European continent. At present, we are faced with clear interdependence between Russia and the EU, both politically and economically, at a time when enhanced cooperation and good neighbourly relations between the EU and Russia are considerably important to Europe’s stability, security, prosperity and so on. The EU remains committed to deepening and developing relations with Russia, based, however, on a strong attachment to democratic principles. In order to develop a special relationship with the Russian Federation, a strategic partnership agreement clearly needs to be signed between both parties.
The EU and Russia must take advantage of the forthcoming summit to give new impetus to a comprehensive partnership and cooperation agreement, covering political, economic and social aspects and including every aspect relating to democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. The EU needs to demonstrate strong internal solidarity when negotiating an agreement with Russia, at a time when the security of the entire EU’s energy supply depends on this."@en1
