MOSCOW, March 31, 2004. (RIA Novosti). The expansion of the agreement on partnership and cooperation on new EU member-states meets the interests of Russia and the European Union, German ambassador to Russia Hans Friedrich von Ploetz told a press conference in Moscow. We shall have a solid basis for interaction, he added.
However, Russia's questions, both economic and political, are justified, the ambassador noted.
Russia-EU relations will be on the agenda of the forthcoming visit to Moscow by German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on April 2.
