lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we are discussing the European Union’s economic relations with Russia exactly nine years to the day when Mikhail Khodorkovsky was incarcerated. This is a symbol of the efficacy of our policy where Russia is concerned. Let us recall that it was predicated on the concept of an economic opening-up of the European Union to Russia, closer relations and allowing Russian investment in the European Union, especially where the energy sector that is so very important to the Russian budget is concerned. In exchange, we were supposed to bring about the modernisation of Russia and its democratisation. Let us draw up a balance sheet for this period. Russia today is a more authoritarian country than it was when it began negotiating with the WTO over membership. Russia today is a country that is far more dependent on raw materials exports, chiefly energy-related, than it was 10 to 15 years ago. Our policy brought about a fiasco and ended in failure. This is the time when we should be telling ourselves this clearly. It is good that Russia has entered the WTO, but now Russia is looking to a new agreement on cooperation and partnership with the European Union for further concessions from the EU which would cover the costs of accession to the World Trade Organisation. This demonstrates the attitude of the Russian authorities, who are genuinely expecting all the rest to adapt themselves to the drastic standards by which the Russian Federation is governed, rather than see Russia adapt to the standards of relations with the European Union or WTO membership. We must not forget this. We have many common interests, in the pursuit of which we need to cooperate, but where our interests clash, we must draw conclusions from this and be more assertive where the Russians are concerned."@en1
