"Mr President, Russia is a very important country and a very important partner in the world. It is also a political partner, and a strategic partner with which the European Union has a special relationship. Since this is a very privileged relationship, and is thought of in such strategic terms, we, too, have the right to expect our partner – and there are clauses about this – to abide by rules regarding human rights, including the justice system, that are accepted in the democratic world. We have, at the same time, been considering the new issue of Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation, which also involves certain obligations. It is, of course, true that every country has the right to build its own justice system, based on acceptable standards, but it cannot be the case that political pressure, as in the case of Magnitsky or in other cases, such as that of Platon Lebedev, which has been mentioned before, or the cases of Estemirova and Politkovskaya, should cast such a shadow over the justice system. For this reason, we call on Russia, as a great country with enormous capabilities, to abide by standards that are accepted in democratic societies."@en1
