into discussing the possible impact of the association agreement on the russian and ukrainian economy he is on record refusing saying that russia has to have absolutely no part to play in discussing economic ties between the european union and ukraine again taken out of context because mr barroso has set up a task force to actually look at the whole trade relationship between the e.u. and russia and the eurasia union is very conscious of the potential impact of any agreement with ukraine and russia the reality is that any agreement is obviously w.t. compatible and there would be no knock on effect in russia with flooded by cheap imports from the e.u. this simply cannot happen under the association agreement and russia knows that perfectly if russia knows that perfectly well i don't understand why the e.u. or mr burr also. couldn't discuss that or read to raid that point with moscow one more time and that leads me to my next question i wonder if you see any divide between elected european officials people like angela merkel rich people who have to follow all of that populations and her
