"Mr President, it is quite clear that Mr Putin has no friends in this Chamber, even though Mr Swoboda believes somehow that Mr Medvedev’s promises will turn into reality.
But Mr Kowal says that we should tell it like it is, and our resolution would be a credit to Cathy Ashton. I believe that the European Parliament should stop ‘business as usual’ with the Putin regime. I think the EU should stop playing it safe. I think we should use all the measures at our command to put pressure on the Putin regime for genuine reform. We should stop discussing fruitless treaties and start being unsafe. Let us start with the Chamber next door.
In the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, David Cameron’s MPs – 18 of them – sit with 16 members of the United Russia party from the Duma. This House has recommended that the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe should regard the Duma delegation as illegitimate. Mr Kowal, let us, as you say, tell it like it is and let us start at home, in the European Union, where people play games with politics. You have said that the European Union is losing respect. Yes, because we do not tell it like it is. So let us start here, and the next resolution we pass on Russia should not be something that looks as if it comes from the EEAS, but something that comes from the European Parliament."@en1
