"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, a strategic partnership must involve a balance of interests on key issues, including people’s living conditions, business relationships based on equal opportunities and the joint challenges that we have to resolve. ‘Strategic’ means giving priority to our common interests as part of this balance. It also means making concrete achievements, ensuring that the political decision-making processes are transparent for everyone, and explaining the electoral procedures.
We agree on the fact that nothing can happen without joint security. However, it is difficult to understand why joint security is not being established jointly. The proposals for discussion have been put on the table, including by the EU. The next summit must deal with these proposals. It must come to a binding agreement that the money used to buy more weapons would be better spent on the specific processes for establishing the modernisation partnership. This is in the interest of both sides and also in the interest of our citizens, who want to have their fair share of the economic progress.
A prospering economy and a fair society will ultimately make obsolete the arrogant behaviour which comes with power. A society of this kind needs the competence and commitment of all its citizens. The Russian demonstrators made this clear to their government in Bolotnaya Square on Saturday and called for concrete change."@en1
