"Mr President, thank you for acting in so liberal a manner towards Members wishing to speak, even though you do not hail from the liberal benches of this House.
Commissioner Kyprianou met with the Russian Foreign Minister yesterday in Cyprus. The meeting was largely devoted to the embargo on the export of Polish meat to the Russian Federation. Everyone is aware that this is really all about political issues, not Polish meat. It is about Russia’s strategy towards our Union. Russia wishes to pursue its own agenda as far as the Union is concerned, and is using this matter as a bargaining chip for future negotiations on completely different issues. This is an old Russian tactic that it has used throughout its history. When the Russians refer to meat, they actually have something else in mind.
I am confident that the European Union will demonstrate solidarity as it deals with this and other issues, and that in future it will act not only on behalf of the Union as a whole but also on behalf of individual Member States experiencing trading difficulties with Moscow."@en1
