After 18 years of negotiations, Russia was officially accepted as a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in December 2011. The European Union and Russia are interdependent trade partners, in particular with regard to raw materials and energy sources. Through this resolution, the European Parliament intends to put pressure on Russia to comply fully with all WTO rules. This means the removal of all ‘protectionist barriers to trade’ with the EU and includes the creation by Russia of an energy market, the liberalisation of public procurement, and privatisation of the service sector. Parliament also advocates easier movement of capital between the two parties. There is nothing new, then. This is the neoliberal playbook in all its splendour; the big finance agenda of the EU, which wants to reduce the import costs of products that are, in many cases, crucial to the industry of many EU countries. Russia, like any other country, has the right to exercise sovereignty over its natural resources and to impose the export duties it deems most appropriate to its own interests, regardless of the WTO’s provisions."@en1
