"Mr President, the informal Lahti summit has once again exposed the limitations of the European Union in a painful manner. It failed to persuade President Putin to sign the energy agreement that should make better access to Russia’s gas and oil fields possible. EU enterprises investing in Russia still face major legal uncertainty, particularly in the areas of compliance and enforceability of contracts. President Putin came to Lahti in the knowledge that the European Union would be unable to speak with one voice about the human rights situation in Russia and about Russia’s attitude to Georgia, for example. The lack of political unanimity is apparently as structural as is our dependence on Russian energy sources. I cannot imagine that the negotiation process with Turkey was not a talking point at the informal summit, given Turkey's refusal to comply with the current criteria and given a general worsening of relations with it, even though one third of its population is still in favour of EU accession. I should like the Council to tell us to what extent the Member States are prepared to accept sham solutions, such as placing Cypriot sea ports under UN control."@en1
