"Madam President, my impression is that systematic cooperation between Member States is starting to work properly – a process which needs careful nurturing if the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) is actually to blossom. But we also need to pick our projects with great care, and if CFSP is in search of a big-picture project on which to focus, it should be, in my view, Russia. We missed the chance, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, properly to engage the Russians as a true partner in European integration. Several false starts and bruised hopes have left our relations fraught and distrustful. Whatever we think of Mr Putin, he is here to stay and Russia is now inside the WTO. So the Union should use its leverage to open up Russia to liberal democracy and to promote fundamental rights there. Gazprom and tourism are not sufficiently broad foundations for building a stable and dynamic relationship which, should we accomplish it, is going to be of great benefit to world politics."@en1
