"The EU and the Russian Federation have had an agreement since 2001 on trade in certain steel products, with regard to administering certain restrictions on imports of certain Russian steel products. Given that, in December 2011, Russia became a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the EU lost the right to apply these restrictions. Keeping this regulation would constitute a violation of the WTO rules, and so the EU proposes to repeal it. The report states that Russia’s accession to the WTO will entail benefits for the EU as it will then have a more liberal access to the Russian market. Furthermore, lifting the restrictions and fully opening up the market will mean an increase in relocations as steel products produced in Russia will be cheaper in Europe. For all of these reasons, I have voted against."@en1
