". I voted in favour of the resolution on EU-Russia trade relations following Russia’s accession to the WTO even though Russia remains a potentially unreliable partner for the EU. The European Parliament today welcomed Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation, but also underlined that, in order to benefit from this strong potential, it is of the utmost importance that Russia fully lives up to the obligations and rules of the WTO. As we see already now, Russia has not been duly fulfilling all its duties as a member of the organisation since it joined the WTO in August this year. Even though the accession of Russia to the WTO is an important step, a comprehensive and binding Partnership and Cooperation Agreement should be the objective for both the EU and Russia. The Agreement must be based on common values of democracy, human rights and rule of law. In this regard, it is appropriate that on the ninth anniversary of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s arrest we raise concerns about Russia’s trustworthiness as a trading partner. One way for the Kremlin to restore investor confidence in Russia would be to commission an independent and impartial inquiry into the Yukos case and the subsequent politically-motivated prosecution of Mikhail Khodorkovsky."@en1
