The approval of this report acknowledges Russia’s recent accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in December 2011. The European Union must maintain and develop its trade relationship with that country, and this relationship should be governed by mutual respect for the commitments undertaken within that agreement. This decision should not, however, prevent us from remaining alert to any potential obstacles to future trade, both in Russia and the European Union.
