lpv:translated text	"− Relations between the European Union and Russia have constantly evolved in recent decades, leading to a profound and complex interdependency which is bound to become even stronger in the future. The conclusion of a strategic partnership agreement between the EU and the Russian Federation remains the key to the further development and intensification of cooperation between the two partners. Obviously, however, developments in the Russian Federation regarding the observance and protection of human rights and respect for commonly agreed democratic principles, rules and procedures are still a cause for concern. The Russian Federation, as a full member of the Council of Europe, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the United Nations, is committed to the principles of democracy and human rights promoted by these organisations. The difficulties which are faced by political parties seeking to register for elections and which undeniably undermine political competition in Russia, limiting voter choice and showing that there are still real obstacles to political pluralism in the country, are also disturbing because this is a cornerstone of democracy and modern society and a source of political legitimacy. It would also be expedient for the State Duma elections to be based on the application of election rules set by the Council of Europe and the OSCE, and therefore I believe it would be proper for the Russian authorities to allow the OSCE/Council of Europe to establish a long-term election observation mission and to cooperate with it from the outset."@en1
