each of them and their bodies burned in mind that russia had depression not bad and a virtue took both from europe had you been served vegetables from your mr broza would you eat them stoves and my question i understand you wish discussed the balance of supply better to schools to russia that you managed to agree could you be more detailed dong the modellers of the agreement who are you asking a question everybody everybody who had vegetables yesterday or today. we'll wish we did we did have vegetables yesterday and today just now over lunch we had tomatoes different tomatoes i don't know since of origin but let's live in sake . some of those girls that just because of the indeed we did speak about the matter since it is started. and there is

a very practical commercial dimension and browsers just explained to modalities our future and what he said is really precise information we spoke about resuming supplies of european vegetables to the russian market we are ready. with guarantees of competent european union services to review supplies for that in the near future. acts but we are well familiar with popular figures in this country from reserve and european colleagues will finalize the details of certificate that guarantees safety of products to glide russian market so well do exactly this i think it's a good result. i can visit confirm a few of those votes. and. i can just confirm what was in my view there just

standing for our teams agreed that the ban of vegetables from you can you know be lifted as system of certification of vegetable safety but you can commission we put in place without any delay and because of the certification will be finalized business possible between the roof for additional rocher and you've been commissioned services which in fact if you stand beside if it's today or tomorrow if you want to be more precise today or tomorrow we intend to stand this certification so the tickets to come to our russian. thank you but you know there are other problems in the world in the visuals so. i think there is a question as to you. i think the lady of the birth wouldn't ask a question about that.

i have a question to mr. spring that your boy. is to be leads on the second. package for greece and how confident are you that it's an agreement will be reached by june twenty fourth meeting what kind of compromise can we expect and also how disastrous will it be if this agreement isn't reached how will it affect the eurozone thank you. thank you we are working at different levels on the package first of all in greece. on a package. measures correcting the fiscal slippage of two thousand and eleven. and these are all the reporting of our own two percent of g.d.p. of the big effort the greek government already made it compels in a kind. of overall not five percent of g.d.p.

. greek government is also working with the european commission with the european central bank and we did i.m.f. on a new program for the upcoming treaty is so stunning fiscal consolidation and to implement all the targets set forward a year ago so we are correcting the slippage and we are working on a new program in greece we also working. some form of private sector involvement creating no default or no credit event and we all working additional european financial means for greece so we are working on all these this is not an easy exercise let's ask india pos. we would have a positive outcome and we would reach agreement by and of the nuns if you

ask me if your comfort of my own for peace yes i'm confident because you go work on it and of course you mentions something sions that's completely normal you such a delicate and difficult exercise but the outcome will be positive by the end of the. book just wanted to add two words. slowish our you're in common as to be as successful as possible in this endeavor you've got to go as europe is our strategic partner. your opinion is and the state of affairs in euro zone largely. determined through with our success here in a number of our internal domestic goals that's why i told our year again you know

partners that we're closely involved in those process is that we hope that all the difficult is different that are there today will be resolved so i'll to mentally when you look we've got a gimmick but we still gold be pretty into your car and see when we would ask good dollars euro is in the basket so it is not an abstract issue for us in tears pacific commerce sun newspaper don't forget to tell us who goes to. call it from the first trial on the good news you mustn't come a sunday newspaper my question. for you bitch and you some question for mr van rompuy. december we witnessed a very successful summit in. advance that i made two wards visit three w.g. over such and i hope that the next summit which is time for this year in brussels will be no less successful so far we're stuck in between which which has. made it

and i told you that each of these watch. the core issues of the step by step plan that are not good finalized where job positions that are you referring to the visit all the w. children visit plan the same has to do with w t o what are the main groups of issues that i could be finalized my question to mr van ronk versions and twenty i love when election campaign will be launched in russia and as you know in every country during the election it's more difficult for foreign partners to find agreements with local authorities do you. are you confident that you'll be able to finalize w t o negotiations by the end of twenty eleven thank you so there's regards w t o and visit some of. the reasons you them quote this state of matters is different from w g o z i mean he's going to try and we've been trying

to find agreement with that but response seventeen years second trial and never really year we hope to finalize negotiations last year wasn't he was quite successful we. may. see you mention of. the old formalize our arrangements with the europeans and us which was difficult at certain stages european friends helped us a lot and this year. so far. not result in a row. prove to me and although in my. minor issues love your results i call them cause how you're. completely go with them the first coming months sober but by the end of the year. good news you. start the things i need to think of all documents needed with russia's decision to double your two year old range with you chances are very high but it will all depend on

how well we hear each other. he said number of occasions freshened federation definitely needs membership of the w t o one being frank and our partners who are members of the. need just as much as we did because they oftentimes complain that certain rules in russia for some reasons are different from that of the w g o for that reason says these are that economic growth has come when you go to the friendly with ones to. the working conditions are different there are things they're unhappy with the plan is turn the page letter straight course you know it's another medicine and forget there's this situation is different in some ways that we are just moving towards this if free space as. if there's a magic versus we understand that we cannot achieve that in a year or two but we need to cure because formulate specific goals i'm satisfied

with the to do that were transmitted more over the last year i was even less optimistic because with our partners will move along two tracks from the first is we try to facilitate as much as possible. these are really. a number of groups of russians which removes citizens those them travel. on an official missions all students are taught from other groups of people who would be . should entitled to this. militate to each other i'm so busy regime or there's a free regime like world was striving to do for those living in kaliningrad are citizens of go in and grow and mature and travel basically visit free on the basis of a special document we'll be able to do that if we. can we are you and some of the rights i've given to do in a different part of poland but i think the chances are very high that you will be

able to find agreement for me very close to reaching agreement on the sat contract that would be a full fledged visit regime because of free travel and that sounds we advance on the basis of a plan where finalize and the and by the end of june we're supposed to finalize it agree upon it what's good about it is that it provides for certain steps that are to bring us to that result and i hope that by the end of june would you are able to finalize the plan so we are advancing forward which is very good second question was mr von rambow your interest by all of. our answers similar questions but now over to you. if you're right the your asking me if you elect to overturn their will influence and he goes you should from the your membership that's what your question. these these membership these

independent. from an electoral agenda. it is too important for the european union and for russia to let it depend on aleck throat and i'm quite confident that these are not because so we go further we destroying political will certainly from the russian side but also from. to see a membership by the end of the year of russia to these very important international sanctions and i can only say that i felt during those days these eat these evening a last evening and this morning that this political will is really really present and we are obliged to have a success. and finally there was a question on energy policy by reuters i believe for president barroso. good afternoon reuters news here my question goes to mr wells. have you discussed the

energy package during the summits of any thoughts of your positions. is there any chance that the european struction. russia's its asian infrastructure could be lifted in the nearest future thank you. know first of all. yes we've discussed this issue and let me tell you that our rules are not discriminatory the same european union rules apply to all handed to you opinion legislation the so-called surge energy package of two thousand and nine that is now leisure and approved by european union seeks to improve the functioning of our. internal market shares of electricity and that. is aim is precisely to set a reliable transparent rule based framework for all investors and all

operators and the new rules ensure a fair. cool effective network access and the proper functioning of open integrated markets so unbundling the issue that is being sometimes controversial unbundling applies to all companies be they peer or foreign because we need a level playing field for these i think calls also creates more opportunities for investment some more predictable investment so a company that is not from european union knows that when it comes to europe in all the twenty seven member states there are. some common rules and also these predictability is good for investment namely in energy as you know sometimes these are very long term investments very capital intensive investments so our rules the rules of the world's largest market will be applied at the same

time because the russian partners ever expressed was several times some concerns about the way it has implemented in some of our member states we are ready to find pragmatic solutions to specific issues as you have done for instance in poland where there was a discussion between poland and the. investors coming from russia the commission was participating actively in those consultations and it can be a good solution was felt so this is what i can tell you and this is in fact the. a clear demonstration of one thing that i've highlighted today once more in this summit. russia and the union need each other in their energy fields russia is our most important partner he does feel that he could remain the most important point so what you have is to create conditions on those sides of productivity

firstly great investment and that's exactly the way. this facility of. words if i may make you more since it is in there is an important topic for our countries. we are negotiating we. mutually beneficial implementation of the third energy package. value and e.g. relations are being impacted for many years old crazy that's what matters most of us or the. implementation of. the relevant resolution of the european union european council should not. create negative impact for russian investors just like my colleague mentioned just now. nor for years being the gloves the citizens. citizens of your gang

member states because we need to. think of what's to happen on european markets not just bluntly implemented previously taken decisions and that respect i believe we need to continue consultations and the ultimate goal of those should be elaborate mutually beneficial approaches indeed we have a number of concerns woman with respect to what's important is to make sure that those concerns are heard. and. responded to we should not trying to blind eye to them and i hope that will continue such dialogue with our european union as. we today's discussion i would like to think on behalf of old me. good. disciplines of this i mean to him because that devotion delegation i would like to think usually not good for the warm hospitality that was extended church here to college thank you very much for

your attention those of you that have not yet have had lunch to enjoy because then you'll do need to be made to do it along with the e.u. commission chief and the e.u. president wrapping up a summit in news we'll have more on that summit throughout the day here on r t i want to get straight to some breaking news this hour a former russian military commander and nationalist icon has been shot dead here in moscow dawn of had earlier spent time in jail for kidnapping and killing a chechen teenage girl let's get the latest details from our correspondent peter all over he now joins us live with the latest peter tell us what exactly happened. well you read the donald was gunned down in broad daylight on a very busy central moscow street they say he was shot four times in the head as he walked down the road the tunnel for the very controversial character here in russia he had been the commander of the tenth regiment during the second chechen war he

was then arrested and convicted in two thousand and three over the junction and killing of an eighteen year old russian chechen woman he spends to be sentenced to ten years in prison and was released last year. he was as a slain in the street in broad daylight in what police are saying has all of the hallmarks of a a contract killing carried out by professionals so that's the the latest about this murder that we go for now. peter are you hearing anything about any kind of repercussions we can expect from this murder well that's one of was a an iconic figure if you will among certain nationalist groups here in russia and we waiting to see if there's any any reaction from them to his killing you know we've basically some some protests from the rise of of protests from those nationalist groups the view but down over as a hero they view the work he did during the chechen war the second chechen war to

be a heroic actions in those he should have been highly commended however he was disgraced really in the eyes of the russian military he was a huge following his arrest and sentencing for the murder and abduction of an eighteen year old chechen girl. right peter oliver following the story of a former russian army general colonel i should say shot dead in prague like you said apparently four times in the head we will continue to join you throughout the day and get the latest on this story thank you peter for that. well to discuss this further joining me now in the studio is the meter box which he of course is from rio is news agency here in moscow. now we're hearing that this is a was a contract murder and from what peter said it sounds like all of the details are going to lead to that kind of presumption who do you think could have ordered a killing like that. well there are several there can be several versions there because you know the story is very complicated first that was the story with the

church and go presumably killed by were done with their lawyer who would defend it who really presented the interests of the family of the girl was killed in last call very much in the way they were done was killed now so it would be an islamists who would be people from extremist and pay nationalist organizations within reach but all the way the mother to war and the cable was least. there can be a lot of versions what i'm sure about is that there will be no nationalist backlash because there are very few people who identify with the don young nationalists did not do not identify with him they couldn't identify with this part in fact become a nationalist figure when this all happened and it was kind of nationalist groups that made him there i can only a small minority among them because. you know there was a trial and people who supported him i would say they didn't particularly like you

must a person it was rather a protest against syria which was raining in the liberal media at the moment the groom us media declared the dawn of guilty before the trial so there were some people who sympathized with him but i don't think we're going to see a huge backlash now because if he did not violate if i were a little down at least the majority of them and i would point your attention to the fact that it was not human rights activist but another need to create an authority question in a general who actually started with out of the case who started to investigate in the petition go right meet your father's political analyst from reno. steve thank you very much for coming in for this breaking news. but you're watching live from moscow we're going to go to the business that's next with kareem.
