EU has eliminated obstacles for the beginning negotiations with Russia
Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the European Union (EU) have approved the mandate on the beginning of negotiations under the new cooperation agreement with Russia. Such information has been proved by representatives of Slovenia presiding in EU.
Agreement upon this question, actually opening a way to discussion of the new contract between Bruxelles and Moscow, has been finally reached. We shall remind that on May, 21st the mandate on the beginning of negotiations has been approved at the countries - members of EU ambassadors’ meeting.
Meanwhile all way to this contract already took several years. In 2006 Russia has offered to update cooperation agreement with the European Union. However, then Poland, which was dissatisfied with embargo on import meat production to Russia, has acted against it.
Until recently Lithuania acted against negotiations.
