"The mandate for negotiating the agreement with Azerbaijan cannot be viewed in isolation from that for negotiations with Armenia, and both are bound up in the EU’s energy dependence and the acknowledged strategic importance of the Caucasus as a productive and transit region. This is the central reason for updating the existing deep and comprehensive free trade agreement, and for the pressure on the country to join the World Trade Organisation, thereby obliging it to open up its energy market and hand over a substantial part of its sovereignty over its natural resources – energy, specifically – to the multinationals of Europe and other regions in this important sector. Guaranteeing access to and domination of natural resources – particularly energy – is becoming crucial to the EU which, facing a serious crisis, is stepping up its policy of interference. It is also strengthening all its political, economic, diplomatic and other mechanisms for weakening sovereignty, and for subordinating it to the interests of the major EU powers and of the capitalist monopolies lusting after new markets and greater exploitation of the workers, so as to generate the enormous profits that they need to emerge from their profit crisis."@en1
