"Building good relations with the Russian Federation poses an enormous challenge for the European Union. The Russian Federation is one of our most powerful partners in political, economic and military terms.
Recent events in Georgia have greatly undermined our trust in our Eastern neighbour. Russian foreign policy has revealed the aspirations of a Kremlin which aims to rebuild a vast, global empire, and does not show sufficient respect for international agreements. Moscow clearly demonstrated its sphere of influence. This placed the European Union in a very difficult situation, albeit one where we fortunately spoke with one voice, although this voice was somewhat muted.
Following the events in Georgia, we should think about how a consistent policy towards Russia can be maintained. The issue of security is a field which currently requires immediate action on our part."@en1
