European Parliament
Maria do Céu Patrão Neves  (PPE ),
in writing.
(PT)
I voted for this motion for a resolution lifting restrictions on steel imports from Russia as they no longer make sense now that Russia has acceded to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Lifting these restrictions will also enable increased trade with Russia, not least, exports of European steel and iron to that country. It will be possible to solve potential breaches of the applicable WTO rules by either party through the WTO’s existing conflict-resolution mechanisms.
