"Russia - Europe: Partnership for Modernisation"
– such is the title of the international forum taking place
at Novy Arbat street, Moscow on Monday. The key topic of the
meeting is establishing partnership agreements between Russian
and European manufacturers.
According to representatives of the YABLOKO party who participated
in the forum, a large-scale organisation of joint business
should start with abolishing of the visa regime between Russia
and EU member states. In addition, important changes should
be introduced into laws.
“It is very important so that the visa regime is abolished
and we insist on this. And it is very important that our institutions
become consistent with the European institutions. I mean here
laws referring to functioning of business and transparency
of state bodies for all the citizens,” stressed Galina Mikhalyova,
Executive Secretary of the Political Committee of the YABLOKO
party.
The forum is held for the fourth time. During previous meetings
participants from Russia and European countries conducted
over a thousand of business negotiations, and most of them
resulted in conclusion of contracts.
