lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Sasi has just reconfirmed the unfortunate idea that the European Union is examining the events of Chechnya as a Russian internal matter alone. However, Russia is in breach of many human rights agreements. For example, the European Council’s agreements strictly prohibit countries from murdering and bombing their own nationals. The OSCE agreements also demonstrated clearly that countries are committed to the notion that violations of human rights can never constitute the internal affairs of a state. In addition, Russia’s centralised power is oppressing a national minority. We might even suspect that ethnic cleansing is taking place there, with Russia trying to create Chechen-free buffer zones. Our group’s position is that our wishes and cabinet discussions are not enough: financial aid for Russia should be restricted to humanitarian and environmental aid. My colleague, Mr Schori, gave an account just now of the latest information on how Russia is, in fact, strengthening its military budget. Does the European Union want, for example, to be involved, through a pact of partnership and cooperation, in increasing Russian military expenditure, which will be used to punish Chechnya in the future?"@en1
