lpv:translated text	". Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, WTO membership can definitely support the urgently needed modernisation of the Russian economy, through easing technology transfer and improving investment security – these are just two examples. It is just two years since Russia agreed on a partnership for modernisation with the EU for the same reasons; the declared aims of this partnership include the alignment of technical standards, the extension of investment opportunities in key sectors for innovation and growth and the general strengthening of trade relations – all these are improved by WTO accession. However, successful accession to the WTO may perhaps merely give Russia more of a voice in other international bodies. Russia will only benefit from membership of it actually implements the joint agreement on trade facilitation. A partnership with the EU for modernisation only makes sense if Russia complies with its WTO obligations. Cherry picking, WTO à la carte – there are so many pleasing expressions for what we can to some extent still see Russia doing, what Russia is doing with its membership at the moment. The EU advocated for a long time that Russia should at last be a member of the World Trade Organisation and we will prove a reliable partner to our Russian friends in the future, but this relationship cannot function in one direction only. Even the joint project, which has already taken so long, i.e. the joint partnership agreement, can now be facilitated through the WTO accession on either side, since the rules no longer have to be negotiated – they are established. However – there are two conditions: the Russians must really comply, and the EU cannot pile on more conditions."@en1
