lpv:translated text	"The conclusion of this bilateral agreement between the EU and the Russian Federation follows on from the latter’s accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). In this context, Russia has had to reduce export duty rates on wood products, particularly some coniferous wood species. This involves removing all ‘prohibitive’ barriers to trade with the EU, given its ‘strong offensive interest in this agreement’. Once again, it is the big business interests in the EU which are exerting their influence to reduce the costs of importing this raw material, which is crucial to industries such as the paper, construction and furniture industries in many EU countries. Russia, like any other country, has the right to exercise its sovereignty over its natural resources, and to impose those export duties that are deemed most appropriate to its own interests, regardless of the WTO provisions or the EU’s interests."@en1
