lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, although since August Russia has been a member of the World Trade Organisation, and this is to be welcomed, we must nonetheless acknowledge that unfortunately it is not meeting its commitments. Russia is continuing to implement measures that are restrictive of trade. Here we should mention, for example, the ban on importing animals from the European Union, a legislative measure that discriminates against foreign nationals in the sphere of public procurement, a seasonal import duty on sugar, and so on. Russia must take urgent measures in the sphere of intellectual property protection. It is still continuing to both produce and sell counterfeit products. Not enough work is being done to combat corruption. Significant reforms are still needed. It is very important to stress that Russia has practically suspended work on the new partnership and cooperation agreement. This agreement is extremely important: it must be detailed and legally binding, and must include European requirements on standards; it must establish a legally binding energy section, consolidating a non-discriminatory and transparent energy market. In view of the fact that approximately 75 % of investment in Russia comes directly from the European Union, it is important to ensure that our investors are protected, by holding talks on a bilateral investment agreement. Nine years have now passed since Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s arrest and the start of the Yukos trial. The fact that this case is ongoing shows that in Russia the rule of law can for the moment only be seen as a goal, but we must do everything possible to achieve this goal. Finally, I would like to stress that treaties and agreements must be adhered to. Our task is to ensure that our partner, Russia, does so. Thank you."@en1
