Ikke desto mindre er begge parter nu ikke alene blevet enige om at involvere Kommissionen i disse drøftelser, men da nogle af de spørgsmål, som Rusland har rejst, vedrører andre medlemsstaters eksport gennem Polen samt EU-lovgivningen som helhed, har Kommissionen også fået søgsmålskompetence til at deltage i disse drøftelser.
Nevertheless, not only has it now been agreed by both sides, but also, given that some of the issues raised by Russia relate to the exports of other Member States through Poland and also to European Community legislation as a whole, it provides legal standing for the Commission also to be involved in these discussions.
