"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, well done to Russia for its accession to the World Trade Organisation, and I agree with the various boundaries set and the guidance given in the resolution. As a member of the delegation to the EU-Kazakhstan, EU-Kyrgyzstan and EU-Uzbekistan Parliamentary Cooperation Committees, and for relations with Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Mongolia, I would like to add something else that has not yet been mentioned in this debate, namely that Russia has made an effort to redraft its position both with respect to the WTO, and therefore the international community and particularly the Western nations and, through the Customs Union, with respect to the Eurasian countries. I believe we need to think carefully about the compatibility of the WTO and Russia’s accession to it, the new bilateral agreement being negotiated with Russia by the EU, and the Customs Union. I think this is one of the most complicated aspects. We do not yet know how the Customs Union will evolve, or whether as expected it will lead to a common economic area based on the four freedoms of movement that exist in the EU, but I believe that we should be taking an integrated approach to Russia on the one hand and Central Asia on the other. There is no point in creating antagonism between these two areas, bearing in mind the umbilical cord that links Russia with Central Asia. For example, we need to try to ensure that the Customs Union’s standards as regards safety and anti-trust rules are still in line with European standards, and I am also wondering what good the abolition of the visa system will do in these negotiations."@en1
