lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Elisabeth Schroedter, our colleague from the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance will be talking about Kaliningrad in a moment. On behalf of the group, I should also like to express thanks to our fellow MEP, Magdalena Hoff, for her immense efforts and 100% commitment to Eastern Europe. In my view, she deserves a mention here. Fellow MEPs, we have all listened carefully to the speech by Mr Miguélez. For fifteen minutes, and more, he talked about Russia, but never mentioned Chechnya. How is this possible, Mr Miguélez? I do not understand. There has nevertheless been a great deal of consultation with the Russian authorities recently. Lengthy discussions have been held, and what is the outcome? Business as usual. We have talked about the economy. I even heard my own Prime Minister mention this when he met Mr Kasyanov. Despite this, surely we have now learnt from the conflicts in Kosovo, in Bosnia Herzegovina, that conflict prevention is crucial. That it is the alpha and omega of every peace policy. We give Russia an enormous amount of financial aid: EUR 65 million via Echo for humanitarian services, and 2.5 billion over the past decade via Tacis. Should we not be able to use this money to engage in conflict prevention at long last? Mr Miguélez, I urge you not only to talk about the economy and free trade in Moscow, but also about Chechnya, about observing human rights, and the persecution of environmental activists. I implore you to do this. You will help make the European Union more credible if you do."@en1
