lpv:translated text	". Madam President, Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation at the end of 11 years of negotiations offers a new perspective for its relationship with the European Union, which thus far has been characterised by asymmetrical trade. Russia has undertaken to align its trade rules and practices with WTO standards, in particular with regard to non-discriminatory treatment of imports of goods and services, ensuring transparency when implementing trade measures, limiting agricultural subsidies and improving intellectual property rights. I believe that Russia’s efforts in this direction are substantial, and that the implementation of these commitments as swiftly as possible will facilitate trade with WTO member states, encourage the creation of new jobs and contribute to an increase in Russia’s GDP. At the same time, the decision to join an international trade organisation means not only benefits, but also compliance with rules established by mutual agreement. For that reason, arbitrary measures such as banning imports of animals originating from the European Union must be avoided in future. It must also be borne in mind that the negotiations on a new agreement between the European Union and Russia will gravitate towards the WTO obligations assumed by both parties, and are a good opportunity to lay down common principles and objectives in the area of trade. To this end, I support the inclusion in the new agreement of a substantial and legally binding chapter on energy in order to create a transparent and non-discriminatory energy market, and a chapter on sustainable development through which we encourage Russia to respect both human and workers’ rights and also international environmental standards. Not least, the Member States should draw up a list of common interests so that they will be approached in a concerted manner during future negotiations with the Russian Federation."@en1
