lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we need to examine how we look on Russia – from which point of view we look on Russia. From the point of view of the Americans, we will look on her as an adversary; from the point of view of the former Warsaw Pact, we will look on her with fear. The point is: do we look on her as a country with which we can cooperate? We are laying down conditions here. Let me read in particular condition 24, in which the EU 'asks Russia to reaffirm its commitments to the territorial integrity of Georgia and Moldova and to withdraw its military forces from Georgia and Moldova in accordance with the request of these sovereign states'. And rightly so. Why did you not impose the same condition on Turkey and ask it to withdraw its military forces from an occupied country which is a Member State of the European Union? Why the double standards? Why are we asking Russia to withdraw its military forces from Georgia and Moldova – and rightly so – but not asking the same of Turkey? You are asking Russia to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on the environment. And rightly so. Why did we not ask the same of the Americans, who pollute the environment 16 times more – according to official statistics – than Russia? Mr Barroso made a distinction earlier between demagogy and democracy. I greatly fear that the Commission and the Council of Europe are being demagogic on this matter."@en1
