"When Vladimir Putin ordered state entities of strategic importance to Russia to consult with the government on how to proceed in situations where they receive a request from another state or from international organisations, he showed why we need this legislation. His decision that Gazprom should not cooperate with the Commission is an affront to the European Union and its legislation. It is a signal that Russia has something to hide in terms of its gas contracts. We cannot let this go unnoticed. The new law on intergovernmental agreements is an initial important step towards Member States working together and sharing information. It means that we improve the prospects of cooperation within the European Union, but also the prospects of a fair price from Russia. I regret that this legislation does not go further to provide for even closer cooperation in the exchange of information between states. The Council allowed national interests to prevail over European energy solidarity. I hope that Russia’s rejection of the third energy package and its statements prohibiting Gazprom from sharing any information will prompt the Council to reconsider its position.
I would like the Council to make corrections to the adopted legislation as soon as possible. States cooperating with the European Union must respect our legislation, and Russia is no exception in this regard."@en1
