"This is the 26th summit between the European Union and Russia. It is therefore worth asking some questions. What steps should be taken to strengthen our cooperation? Which of the social, political and economic values of which Europe is proud should our representatives take up during talks with Russia? The end of Russia’s negotiations on accession to the World Trade Organisation and the stepping up of activities aimed at the gradual abolition of the visa regime, which would facilitate the mobility of our citizens and develop trade between the EU and Russia, set an optimistic tone. These are signs which allow us to look to the future of economic relations with hope.
However, there are still a number of areas in which there is much to be done. The first is energy and our right to build a competitive energy supply system. An effective European policy on energy issues depends on our taking a joint, unified stance, the position from which we should start any negotiations with our partners from outside the continent and the implementation of the provisions of the new energy programme. The issues of free democratic elections and citizens’ rights to freedom of expression are further important topics that must be taken into account during the summit with Russia, with reference to the concerns regarding the recent elections to the Duma and the public reaction that they provoked."@en1
