European Parliament
Kristiina Ojuland  (ALDE ),
in writing.
I voted in favour of the report that covers raw materials, which are not listed in the Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods in connection with Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that this agreement is only intended to serve as a temporary measure before the conclusion of the new EU-Russia Partnership and Cooperation Agreement. The future agreement should include an extensive and watertight chapter on trade in raw materials. Explicit treaties, just like strong fences, make good neighbours.
