European Parliament
Queiró (PPE-DE ),
in writing
(PT)
I voted in favour of this motion for a joint resolution because I feel that the question before us – relations between the EU and Russia, which is an important international player and the most important neighbour of many of the countries covered by our neighbourhood policy – is crucially important for the future of the area that we share throughout the European continent, and as regards certain concerns at world level.
Nevertheless, I must point out that, in spite of the reservations that I have expressed, I welcome the concern at Russia’s interference in countries that were previously part of its sphere of influence.
