"The majority of the European Parliament is once again expressing its now standard neoliberal and meddling position on relations between the EU and Russia. The interests of economic and financial groups are prioritised, pressuring Russia to join the World Trade Organisation in order to promote ‘a level playing field for business communities on both sides and liberalise trade in the global economy’ with Russia having to facilitate foreign investment and renounce any ‘protectionist measures’. Access to, and control of, energy are essential in this respect and therefore require access to markets, infrastructure and investment. There is also a certain sense of desperation when the call is made to Russia to engage in closer cooperation on the supply of raw materials and rare earths, especially those considered ‘critical’. And, finally, there is hypocrisy. Russia is asked to engage in ‘further comprehensive dialogue on security issues, including the establishment of the missile defence shield’, when a Member State of the EU and of NATO, Romania, has already expressed its willingness to host this system, which clearly constitutes a threat to Russian security and to peace across Europe. Not even the United States has given any assurance that it does not."@en1
