".
I have voted in favour of the resolution on EU-Russia trade relations following Russia’s accession to the WTO (). Russia has long been one of the EU’s strongest trade partners and I feel that this relationship can only be improved with their accession to the WTO which came into effect last year. Russia has primarily exported energy and mineral fuels to the EU; the EU has covered a vast range of areas in which it has exported to Russia, such as nearly all categories of machinery and transport equipment, manufactured goods, food, and live animals. While I certainly agree with the authors of the resolution that we must take care to not allow Russia to dictate and in some cases prevent good trade practices, I feel strongly that the positives will far outweigh the negatives in our future trade relationship. Therefore, we must take and allow every opportunity for negotiations with regard to future trade relations with Russia and take advantage of what is sure to be a great relationship for a very long time."@en1
