"Mr President, thank you for giving me the opportunity to say a few words about this interesting subject in this catch-the-eye procedure.
Madam President, the Commissioner summed up Russia’s accession to the WTO after 18 years pretty well, and his views were echoed by many speakers. His views could be summarised in two words: cautious optimism. Certainly there is cause for optimism. I feel that progress may be slow and that we may have to settle for the Macmillan maxim of two steps forward, one step backward.
Nevertheless, having the international standards of the WTO to deal with any disputes, etc. can only lead to progress. Particularly, I hope this will lead to the removal of trade-restrictive measures, especially on the importation of live animals and public procurement. Russia can be guaranteed that the EU will play by the rules. The question is: will Russia? Over to you, Mr Putin."@en1
