Submitted by christian on Thu, 01/14/2016 - 12:00
The European External Action Service (EEAS) Russian Division has acknowledged AALEP-GR LEAGUE Joint Resolution that was transmitted to the President of the European Commission, Mr. Jean Claude Juncker and points out the following:
- The AALEP-GR League Joint Resolution raises important issues related to the interaction between the EU and the Russian Federation.
- Russia remains of strategic importance for the EU.
- When conditions allow, we must rethink our relations with Russia realistically and in full light of EU interest and values.
- Steps toward rebuilding trust should be taken on both sides, in a gradual and selective manner, commensurate with Russia's response, particularly with regard to the full implementation of the Minsk Agreement with regard to Ukraine.
- A constructive and predictable relationship between the EU and Russia is possible and desirable and the raprochement should start by settling the Ukrainian conflict to which the EU is fully committed.
