".
I voted for the resolution on EU-Russia trade relations following Russia's accession to the WTO because Russia’s accession will improve this bilateral relationship. Russia is the EU’s third largest trade partner, and the EU is Russia’s largest. In 2011, EU exports to Russia were worth EUR 108.4 billion while imports from Russia totalled EUR 199.5 billion, giving a total trade of EUR 308 billion.
I am in favour of strengthening this relationship through the Partnership for Modernisation, which is based on mutual interests and a deep commitment to universal democratic principles, respect for human rights and the rule of law. I believe that this EU-Russia Partnership will help to enhance their economic and commercial relations within the WTO and bilaterally. I also believe that fostering synergies between both parties’ trade and investment strategies can help Russia to realise the full potential of its economic modernisation and diversification."@en1
