lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, Russia has started to show in a number of ways where, in its view, the borders of the European Union should lie. Since August endless columns of cars have been standing at Narva border crossing in my homeland, Estonia. On the worst days it takes over 100 hours to cross the border, with over 400 lorries queuing. The situation on the border between Russia and Latvia is even worse. The Kremlin has agreed to initial discussion of the issue in Moscow on 16 November, but that is still two months away. I want to encourage the European Commission and the European Council to address the issue considerably sooner, at the next summit in a month’s time on 26 October in Portugal. It strikes me that the parties have an excellent opportunity here to improve relations by turning their attention to practical issues such as the trouble-free crossing of borders. The free movement of goods is one of Europe’s fundamental freedoms. Russia, which aspires to membership of the WTO, cannot afford to behave like this. After all, it also wants the support of our Union."@en1
