and the russian companies but is strong in the. the there are reasons we how far are reasons but i think one one aspect is normally underestimated the third package geese precisely the right to foreign companies including the russian companies to accede to the e.u. market i think this is more than we can save your way around so i think that even if the third package is true that introduces some measures these measures are not meant for russian companies that are meant for all the companies they are also meant for evil companies so they are not discriminatory and in exchange they give the russian companies right off axis thank you thank you for not it was a pleasure talking to you as usual and jessica reminded that my guest in the studio today was karen and overland so well that head of the european union delegation to rush and that's certain out from all spotlight will be back with more for us and comment on what's going on and outside russia until then stay on our team and take it thank you.

to russian markets. our russian economic forum in london has started for for mostly discussion of russian shoes. some put there before which actually force. some point of view is. pretty new new form which is a london form as a predecessor. is look like global because most of the main agenda of some patel will form is a global agenda and a lot of discussion was the water and we'll be do water this time to. global issues of course russian issue also will be presented and russian president is going to keep a speech. but anyway i believe that the most part of his speech will be about the global problems and russia in the framework of this problem well are there any practical results at which the forum is a bit more it's mainly just. sharing vs. if you look at the previous events then of course as a result of this forum and contacts between. businesses have. contracts some agreements framework agreements where it was quite substantial amount. but i think the this is not only practical result a practical resu

to russian market. russian economic forum in london a starter for foremostly discussion of russian shares. something terrible for which actually was. some point of view. pretty new new form which is the london forum was a predecessor. is local a global because the most for the main agenda of some pretty would form is a global agenda and a lot of for discussion was the waterfront real bit of what exists to all. global ships of course russian shore so you'll be presented and the russian president is going to keep a speech. but anyway i believe that the most part of his speech will be about the global problems and russian framework of this problem are there any practical results at which the forum is a more it's mainly just. sharing vs. if you look at the previous events then of course as a result of this forum and contacts between. businesses. let's see. contracts some agreements for any agreements plus quite substantial amount not as in the this is not only practical result as a practical result is also

russian poland relations russia e.u. relations do you think that that poland polish presidency will. play some role in making this russian issue special for the e.u. and for reactions with were not very likely in the sense that they are not responsible for the foreign relations in there actually on a number of issues it might be might have of course a bearing but but not on what is the bilateral relation between russia and the e.u. which is a matter now for institutions in brussels. on the twenty seventh of june russian and the european union diplomats had their meeting and these are related issues and agreed on some joint action steps on the way to these are free travel could you specify what have these joint action steps well this is something that came out of the not is the last summit with the previous summit where we agreed that the best way to be more efficient in making progress would be to identify where are the problems which are the issues that need to be solved in order to reach in on the this beautiful regime

is so complicated and definitely impact dramatically russian the mystic story russian french politics that it's it's not very important to to comment on the sort of the question from my point of view ok. france today is advocating the military campaign against gadhafi in libya advocating the un resolutions against bashar is as a regime in syria well that is a political fact russia russian diplomacy is much more cautious dealing with these issues do you think that this is because of some disagreements that exist between moscow and paris and could they have a negative impact on relations these specific burning issues which are priorities for for nato the future i think it's important to remind. obviously the fights you know in libya its various friends but it is. we've been a toll and especially with a strong cooperation between paris and london at the beginning of the process and obviously the u.s. support was military very important to make the operation and to respect the result . which was there was peace abstention of russia for resolution now there are some criticize coming from r

global issues of course russian issue also will be presented and russian president is going to keep a speech to but anyway i believe that the most part of his speech will be about the global problems and russia in the framework of this problem well are there any practical results at which the forum is a bit more it's mainly just. sharing vs. if you look at the previous events then of course as a result of this forum and contacts between. businesses. let's say. contracts some agreements framework agreements where it was quite substantial amount but i think that this is not only practical result the practical result is also maybe less money. but it's result of the new contacts new relationship. new memorandum of understanding between. companies and this is a more significant practical issue for the business. well let's take a look at the history of the st petersburg and on the forum now and it reported by spotlights to me that. while russia's business and finance is mostly concentrated in moscow there are several days every tune when the capital city gets a break that's when the big mon

russian brands which are now being. pushed forwards in the west and and the association of russia with even western brands is very positive take chelsea football club i mean russia has done a lot for i mean said individual certainly have done a lot to the russian bring the football and that's fantastic so you know there are certain things where you can definitely see there's been a lot of progress and in pushing a russian association you know if i'm going to you i mean do russian bring. i have to be better than the best to be equal i just gave the example of a wristwatch manufacturer i mean what do you have to do to get the i of a consumer because yourself there's so many brands out there that people identify with i mean i'm holding a painting here again i won't name it here but i mean this is one of the nicer ones but most of them are just pure plastic but they still cost a lot of money ok you're buying the brand how hard it is is it for you in russian companies to really meet that challenge. group to bring the city of

companies often get a bad rap certainly the russian state. how can the russian business in your opinion being a businessman yourself help improve the image of russia as a brand on the international stage because you know when a lot of critics said the west will look at banks to look at oil companies you know it's these evil institutions and things like that but as we've already pointed out on this program here there's not that much of people make that kind of differentiation what does business have to do to disassociate itself with government institutions and politicians even. usually when people see. company me as a brand. they do the experience if you go in or nobody in france look it was the french people or. the experience on some of you and something from the species or if you buy. some i don't like japan this technique or. you'll. like this. charles for the coolidge offices i don't suppose a mission all. my things all you with it is very strong it's possible to be more but. really to build one it's not that there was a goal it's a matte

russian. diplomats reporters experts started questioning the frequency of the sun and the efficiency of the summit that really aren't costly so is it true and do you think that it really may become a case that the. frequency of the summit will be reduced. no i mean everything is possible but it's not something that is on the agenda right now. this has never been discussed and i think that for the time being at least this frequency of the summit has a certain a certain value of some it's an opportunity of course on the one hand to solve issues of problems but not only that it's also an opportunity a unique opportunity for leaders to get together to get to know each other better to discuss about issues of common interest not only about a bilateral relationship but also how do we perceive can see certain problems in the world how to solve them and they have this opportunity which i think is sincerely and valuable. this week july the first poland is taking chairmanship in the european union and th

and russian right now i think that if you see the u.s. strategy right now you know number one is certainly afghanistan iran the raising of china and to some extent sorry to to to put it bluntly but russia is not a top priority at all for washington where. now so i being said that i'm not so sure that you appeaser top priority as well so a problem for russia and for europe is a reason to be marginalized on the international scene and from this point of view everything that can make a push more you know between europe russia and to some extent europe russia and the us it can be seen as a positive step oh well i have heard a line a commentry of our opinions here in moscow that that russia actually does need these mistrials they it's a political deal rather than purely economic as you call it how much of strategic interests aside of purely economic interest does france have in this deal . if it's not interesting for military terms for the russian navy that's interesting because that means that the russian navy sufficiently rich to to to buy s

resolutions against bashar is as a regime in syria well that is a political fact russian russian diplomacy is much more cautious dealing. with these issues do you think that this is because of some disagreements that exist between moscow and paris and could they have a negative impact on relations these specific burning issues which are priorities for for nato. i think it's important to remind that. obviously the fights you know in libya it's very france but it is we've been a toll and especially with his trunk operation between paris and london at the beginning of the process and obviously the u.s. support was military very important to make your operation and to respect the result. which was there was a potential of russia. resolution now there are some criticize coming from russia against you know the way of operating and the fact that. we have monday to given by the resolution was not so so so so large so definite it is. a sensitive issue between paris and most school i think there is a debates you know in the russian leadership as well because we saw that president medvedev in deauvil

freefall and the russian ruble had to be devalued choice during his time in office for millions of russians this was yet another time of troubles. yeltsin played a critical role in ending communist rule the us president he ordered the army to tackle mutinous parliament even rammed through constitutional reforms that extended his powers as president at the expense of parliament and few can forget the brutality of the first chechen conflict by the end of his presidency yeltsin like so many russians at the time became wary of the west i told me the americans the germans don't push us toward military action otherwise there will be a european war for sure and possibly world war two there's no doubt that boris yeltsin is an outstanding historical figure though it may take decades for the russians themselves to find a consensus about a name to change russian and world history forever russia charney for crossed off our team. ok alex and i think go back feeling london. in the studio brought up a very interesting point about how russia looked at the west and the west looked at russia during yeltsin's

russian companies often get a bad rap certainly the russian state.how can the russian business in your opinion being a businessman yourself help improve the image of russia as a brand on the international stage because you know when a lot of critics and the west still look at banks or look at oil companies you know it's these evil institutions and things i got as we've already pointed out on this program here there's not that much of people make that kind of differentiation what does business have to do to disassociate itself with government institutions and politicians even. usually when people see the bowl as a company owned company made sure it's a brand these trades is legally expedients if you come in or earlier in france look it was the french people or. you have. experience on some you and something brushing from the species or if you buy all the little babies just say. i don't like japan this technique or. you'll. like it. as far as the color choices i had them suppose a little jerk but. it seems that only with our shotgun it is very strong i

russian brands which are now being. pushed forth in the west and the association of russia with even western brands. is very potent take chelsea football club i mean russia has done a lot for an individual believe that a lot of the russians have made this possible and i fantastic you know there are some things where you can definitely see there's been a lot of progress and in pushing a russian to the asian you know thing going you may do russian brain. hands have to be better than the best to be equal i just gave the example of a wristwatch manufacturer i mean what do you have to do to get the eye of a consumer because they're selfish so many brands out there that people identify with i mean i'm holding a painting here again i won't name it here maybe i mean this is one of the nicer ones but most of them are just pure plastic they still cost a lot of money ok you're buying the brand how hard it is is it for you in russian companies can really meet that challenge. group to bring the city of challenge especially if you ar

association we often do you mean do russian brain.hands have to be better than the best to be equal i just gave the example of a wristwatch manufacturer i mean what do you have to do to get the eye of a consumer because they're selfish so many brands out there that people identify with i mean i'm holding a pen here again i won't name it here but i mean this is one of the nicer ones for most of them are just pure plastic but they still cost a lot of money ok you buying the brand how hard it is is it for you in russian companies you really need that child. through the berlin city of challenge especially if you are just bits of being goes away. easily union coup in the us money into the us those are people the feel of them is money and. so on you almost leaves a buffer zone for in some areas which if you want and to bret's you know it means that people seem to see anything brants people. needed or you could be female and you pretty much was a sensible us people laws as a parent it's it's like it was before in or one little bit in or out

themselves to find a consensus about a name that change russian and world history forever. for cross-talk r.t. . ok alex and i think go back to you in london. in the studio brought up a very interesting point about how russia looked at the west and the west looked at russia during yeltsin's tenure how do you assess that i mean was there a pendulum there where there misperceptions on one side or both sides. i think there misperceptions on both sides russia expected the west to applaud to the end of communism the introduction of a post common is purportedly democratic regime and it's. expected the west to get lots of money to support the regime in to stabilize the transition to market democracy but the west responded to russia's soft liberation by appearing to be fairly mean it wasn't the best of economic conditions the big marshall plea marshall plan number two as it were didn't come apart and russia became more and more disillusioned about real partnership with the west but the trouble with russian foreign policy we went back to that before the discussion is that rhetorical

russian travelers and business. dissipating the introduction of the extended three year american visa i'll get you one with no easy times. hello ed hello underneath thank you very much mostly for being with us on the show and first of all i wanted to to hear your comments on something that we hear through the grapevine these days and that michael mcfaul and probably moving to moscow as the new american ambassador and should we expect something from him from this and how problems it will be used. well it's a rumor i think she really does. but maybe we can speculate on the basis of the rumor. michael mcfaul is. someone who is known to be close to president obama he is a scholar on russia is an expert field he's worked very closely with the members of the ministration spent some time also working with people on capitol hill so i think he summing up this is true and assuming that he is confirmed. then i think he would be a very good representative and in no way reflects negatively on the current bassett ambassador barly

federation and you think that's the entire point of john vines go to you in washington from a russian perspective in two thousand and eleven that was the good yeltsin ok the else and they did the right thing ok because right now in two thousand and eleven most people in this country are very pleased that the soviet union is gone there's still a small minority that regret it but yeltsin was seen as a great banner to bring the end of a system that wasn't working for the people anymore so yeltsin twenty years ago what kind of character do you so some to be. i said some looking back i'm very contradictory figure both i would almost say heroic but certainly someone who displayed tremendous political courage and i would note in passing about i agree with the most comments and the ultimate was ahead of even the us government and the outside observers and moving forward were a lot of people and most notably the first president bush seemed to indicate they wanted to preserve the soviet union i'll be any more reformed way but you ask about yeltsin i think he was in many ways one of the most pol
