"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, both sides did wrong and broke international agreements. Now it is a matter of how quickly we can move on from here and restore stability to the situation.
For that we also need cooperation with Russia. That is a basic requirement. In fact many of Russia’s goals are the same as ours in the Treaty of Lisbon. President Medvedev has said that there is a need for institutional reforms. That is true. The second point he makes is reforms in the infrastructure. A third is investment. These are things we know about. Then there is innovation, something we know a lot more about, if we may say so. These are things we have in common. They want to have a role in solving the international financial crisis, and they have little capital to do that. They therefore do not want to be cut off, that is obvious, and we must respond through cooperation, which will enable us to steer Russia in the direction we want.
Russia does not want to speak about ideology, but today the European Union does. We want it to have democracy; that is our ideology. Russia wants practical solutions, and both of these goals are probably worth harmonising and this way we will make progress. We therefore still need one ‘I’, that is to say integration, following on from Medvedev’s four ‘I’’s, so we can also influence Russia’s future successfully from our own standpoint and increase stability."@en1
