"Deeper and closer cooperation between the Union and Kazakhstan could be beneficial to both sides, particularly if Kazakhstan’s important role in global energy policy is taken into account. Kazakhstan falls within Russia’s area of economic influence, if only because it is a member of the customs union. It is therefore very much in our interest to take appropriate steps to bring Astana closer to Europe. The partnership and cooperation agreement will facilitate the development of a comprehensive framework for mutual economic development. At the same time, it is also important to encourage the Kazakh authorities to accede to the World Trade Organisation as soon as possible. The partnership must of course encompass issues such as the principles of the rule of law, good governance and democratisation, because these are the mechanisms on which European policy is based. In the context of Kazakhstan, it is also particularly important to regulate the status of the Caspian Sea. This involves cooperation with other Central Asian countries. We should encourage swifter progress towards an appropriate solution. I support the resolution."@en1
