lpv:translated text	". Madam President, Russia is actually the only large neighbour that we have. There is also an interdependence between the European Union and Russia, particularly in the field of trade and energy. However – as the Commissioner has just said – the trading relations are certainly not the best. The reason for this is that up to now Russia has only operated in accordance with its own rules and that is often a source of very great frustration for the European business community. I have today seen in the business ranking published by the World Bank that Russia is only in 112th place. That is because it is very difficult to do business with Russia. That is the very reason that the accession of Russia to the WTO is a very good development that we in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) also welcome and set down in a resolution accordingly. Nevertheless, Madam President, we must check whether all the agreements made are observed. Allow me to make a couple of comments in that regard. If we wish to use the potential of economic relations with Russia to the full then we must also ensure that Russia complies with all its obligations in the framework of the WTO. In the run-up to the accession there are still very many things that give me cause for concern, such as protectionist measures, unilateral, temporary tariff increases, and the production and sale of counterfeit goods. These aspects have now been named and we must keep an eye on them. Accession to the WTO is an unbelievably important step but there are other specific issues that the EU and Russia must settle at bilateral level. These matters will soon be dealt with in the Swoboda report in which, as today, we must ask for attention to be paid by the departments concerned to ensuring that the negotiations, also regarding a partnership agreement, will again run smoothly."@en1
