lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, I agree with every word you said. They are also reflected in the resolution we negotiated today. We are both incredibly critical about Russia’s democratic development. We also know that that country has never had a real democracy and that this is a learning process which Russia needs to go through. However, whilst at one point, with the inauguration of President Medvedev, we thought we would be able to cherish hope and confidence that the situation would take a turn for the better, it is now actually heading in the opposite direction. We agree with you that Russia’s modernisation means that it will become more prosperous and that that will lead, in particular, to a democratisation of Russian society. It is not just we Europeans who recognise that things are not going well, that the situation is stagnating; the Russians see it too. Ten days ago, an EU delegation visited Russia and we spoke in St Petersburg about civil society. We also discussed there all the laws that you have just mentioned. The problem is that we never know where we stand with Russia’s vague and very broad interpretation of civil society. As a result of this, an orderly functioning of civil society is absolutely impossible, as organisations no longer know over which point they could be taken to trial. What are we going to do together to ensure that Russia abides by the rule of law? That is the only way to modernise."@en1
