lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I believe that the proposed resolution faithfully reflects the European Union’s current approach to Russia. This approach is in many ways forthcoming, and in this case welcomes Russia’s accession to the WTO. As usual, however, the suggested resolution lists the homework for others, i.e. for Russia, and says very little of what we are going to do to improve relations. I believe that the resolution in its current form means that once again we will miss the opportunity to state that we consider the earliest possible lifting of visa requirements between Russia and the European Union to be important for an improvement in trade and political relations. Abstract references to ongoing negotiations are insufficient. For me, the European Parliament’s own initiative is missing, and I fear that there is also a lack of understanding of the significance of this intention. At the same time it is unclear to me why it states in paragraph 16 of the motion for a resolution that the Russia-Kazakhstan-Belarus Customs Union should impose additional barriers to trade with Russia. It is obvious that such a barrier would be inconsistent with WTO rules and Russia’s newly adopted commitments. However, we can also say that the said Customs Union will remove barriers and will extend the WTO rules to other areas. I cannot help but feel that the aforementioned expression of concern is an expression of political resistance to the ongoing integration process in the post-Soviet space, rather than an expression of interest in the implementation of the WTO objectives."@en1
