lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Søvndal, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today’s debate on Russia is of great concern to us and forces us to choose between what is desirable and what is possible. The resolution that Parliament will have to vote on tomorrow addresses the very specific set of circumstances that have followed the presidential elections. We are faced with an official Russia which still harks back to the era of the Soviet Union and which feels entitled to veto freedom within the United Nations Security Council. This is a Russia where the President and the Prime Minister shamelessly take turns to be in power. A Russia where elections are not held in compliance with international standards, and a Russia where opposition figures are detained, which takes us back to the recent and far from glorious past. However, Mr President, this is also a Russia which is a member of the Council of Europe and of the World Trade Organisation, which duly collaborates with the OECD and wishes to become one of its members, and a Russia where, as in the Arab Spring countries, there are men and women who are fighting for their freedom and dignity. Mr President, I think what is central to this resolution is to work for change and to open a space for dialogue and conversation with the opposition whose rights have been infringed and ignored. We should leave until later, until Mr Swoboda’s report, the issue of the institutional framework, the new association agreement between the European Union and Russia, two entities that need to come to an understanding. Mr President, I think that from the viewpoint of the European Union – I would like to appeal to the President-in-Office of the Council and to the Commission’s representative – that we should mobilise all our efforts and influence to make what is desirable become possible, so that fundamental freedoms and the rights of all will soon become a reality throughout Russia."@en1
