"The partnership and cooperation agreement establishing a partnership between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Russia, of the other part, entered into force on 1 December 1997. In October 2007, within the framework of this agreement, the European Union and the Russian Government concluded an ‘Agreement on trade in certain steel products’. The agreement established quotas for imports into the EU of steel originating from the Russian Federation. After Russia’s accession to the rules-based multilateral trade system of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the EU can expect to benefit from freer access to the Russian market. Any remaining barriers to bilateral trade in steel products that could still apply should be minimal, and applicable only within the clear remits of the WTO rules that govern aspects such as tariffs, applicable trade defence measures, technical standards, specific customs/clearance procedures, etc. In my opinion, it is reasonable to examine and eliminate trade and investment barriers which might persist on both sides following Russia’s accession to the WTO. At the same time, I firmly believe that it would be beneficial to both interested parties for trade relations between the EU and Russia to develop in full accordance with the commonly adopted provisions of the applicable bilateral agreements."@en1
