"Mr President, numerous valid criticisms have been made but I would caution against our using a hectoring tone, because it is counter-productive. As the elections have shown, there is no
equal opportunity when it comes to the electoral law, the party law and access to the media. However, the fact is that the name of the President of the Russia Federation is Vladimir Putin, and the European Union needs to cooperate with him. Whether Putin’s reform of the political system or the economy succeeds is primarily in Russia’s interests, but also in the interest of the European Union. The Putin system has exhausted its own political reserves. More press freedom and more democracy are needed. However, an even bigger problem is that Russia has fallen behind the other BRIC countries in economic terms.
If the Russian economy is not modernised and developed, then tensions can arise that threaten social stability. It is in the interest of the European Union for Russia to be a stable and developing country."@en1
