"Mr President, if we consider the efficacy of the institutional bodies established between the European Union and Russia, we will find that little progress has been made when it comes to any between the two parties. Why is that? Does it not concern us? Perhaps both sides are making a mistake and we cannot be efficient when it comes to relations between Europe and Russia. If we really want cooperation with Russia, and I consider that we desperately need that cooperation, we need to carefully design a new approach. The accession of Russia to the World Trade Organisation is a big, new and very good step. So far, what the European Union and the European Parliament have been doing is to denounce everything that is happening in Russia. All we do is denounce. That attitude is not productive or creative. On the contrary, I believe that it is slowing down and hampering between the two sides. We unilaterally consider Russian issues at a time when, first of all, we need multi-faceted cooperation in the trade, energy, culture and education sectors, before moving on to the human rights sector. I should like to relay a personal experience to you. Years ago, I met an Arab leader who is today one of the fallen Arab leaders. At that time, he had just returned from Moscow and he described how he and President Putin had agreed that ‘these Europeans want to tell us how to govern our countries’. I believe, therefore, that there is a big divide between European culture and certain countries. I also believe that we must lead the way towards with those countries."@en1
