I welcomed this document, because it reaffirms the belief that Russia remains one of the European Union’s most important partners in building strategic cooperation, sharing not only economic and trade interests but also the objective of acting closely together in the common neighbourhood as well as at global level. It is regrettable that the Russian authorities have decided to reject the application to register the People’s Freedom Party (PARNAS) to participate in the forthcoming State Duma elections in December 2011. I believe that it is necessary to call on the Russian authorities to ensure free and fair elections and to annul all decisions and rules that do not conform to this principle. Concern has also been expressed over the difficulties experienced by political parties wishing to register for the elections, and because political competition in Russia is very restricted as a result of these difficulties, the electorate has less choice and these difficulties show that in Russia there are still major obstacles to political pluralism."@en1
