Elisabeth Köstinger  (PPE ),
in writing

With this agreement, Russia has made a commitment not to levy any new or additional export duties on raw materials. This commitment applies to a number of raw materials, which are listed in the agreement. This will clearly be beneficial for European small and medium-sized enterprises. Greater attention must be paid to any subsequent agreement, however. I am in favour of this agreement and have therefore voted accordingly.
