Det er meget vigtigt at føre disse samtaler med russerne om mere gennemsigtige energirelationer, om problemerne ved vores fælles naboskab, men også at kunne genoptage menneskerettighedsdialogen, demokratidiskussionen mellem Rusland og EU, men ligeledes at kunne videreudvikle vores multilaterale dagsorden, hvad enten der er tale om Iran, FN-systemets fremtid, Kyoto osv.
It is very important to have these talks with the Russians on more transparent energy relations, on the problems in our shared neighbourhood, but also to be able to restart the human rights dialogue, the democracy debate between Russia and the European Union, but also to be able to further develop our multilateral agenda, whether it concerns Iran, the future of the United Nations system, Kyoto and so on.
