lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, the Russian President and government often criticise our EU third energy package, and Gazprom is unwilling to play according to its rules. What they say – and they have begun using this argument – is that the Energy Package is in breach of World Trade Organisation principles, and that it inhibits free trade. This is nonsense, as many expert appraisals have asserted – the third energy package is compliant with international law. It assigns the same rights and duties to European companies and to Russian companies. Gazprom benefits from the provisions of this third energy package, even though it is criticising it. The monopolist has increased its commercial activities in the EU and has purchased a number of European energy companies. It also derives benefits from WTO rules. Meanwhile, European businesses cannot count on equal treatment in Russia, a point that has been raised in our discussions. Because of corruption and a lack of rule-of-law governments in Russia, some of these businesses have been thrown out of Russia. BP is an example. Russia also frequently fails to observe WTO rules relating to equal treatment of operators. It seems to me that at this time when we are negotiating a new understanding on partnership and cooperation we must attribute a great deal of weight to this and treat the fulfilment of Article 102, which Russia is accused of breaching, as an essential condition for the signing of a new partnership agreement. The EU must deploy all of its potential, along with the potential it has through the WTO, to oblige Moscow to act in accordance with the law. The same is also true of the antimonopoly accusation and the investigation which the European Union is conducting."@en1
