lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we all know that there are deficiencies in Russia in relation to democracy and human rights. There is no doubt about that. However, the path of the former motherland of real socialism towards an open democracy is a long one, and Russia should not be measured by Western standards. I also believe, however, that Mr Putin’s new presidential term represents an opportunity now to take a new step towards further democratisation, that there is a chance to review the imprisonment of political prisoners, that the non-registration of opposition parties could be examined and that Mr Putin’s election promise to tackle corruption could become a reality. We ought to give Russia this chance. In general, I believe that we Europeans should not always wag our finger with democratic superiority. There are enough democratic deficiencies in the EU, too. Recall that only recently, the period of office of the President of the European Council, Mr Van Rompuy, was extended without any democratic legitimacy."@en1
