Som debatten om denne betænkning ikke mindst i udvalget så tydeligt har vist, har EU i kraft af den seneste udvidelse i dag en anden bevidsthed og en anderledes erindring, som har fået afgørende indflydelse på vores forhold til Rusland.
I agree with the Rapporteur that it is in both our interests that Russia is integrated better within the European structures and there is a more common approach to the Countries covered by our neighbourhood strategy. However, if Russia is to be a Member of the WTO it must respect WTO regulations, in particular counterfeiting and piracy of goods must be stamped out.
