The heads of the diplomatic community in rewrote, yesterday in Brussels, the bitter experience coming to grant their violins on the future partnership agreement they wish to conclude with the Russia or on the attitude to adopt towards the Turkey.
The Poland has continued to oppose the planned November 24 in Helsinki, launch negotiations with the Russia for the conclusion of a new ambitious partnership agreement, including energy. Fact Warsaw, at a time, depend on the green light of the ratification by the Government of Vladimir Putin of the Energy Charter and lift the Russian embargo that, over the past year, closes this immense Polish meat market. And the very nationalist government Kaczynski seems prepared to charged both with its European partners and with Moscow, rather than to yield. These are the permanent ambassadors of the twenty - five to the Union that will try to find a compromise this week, while the launch of negotiations with the Russia was to be the high point of the EU-Russia Summit to be held on 24 November in Helsinki.

"If the Turkey does not move on Cyprus, we cannot continue as if nothing had", outbid his Luxembourg counterpart Jean Asselborn, summarizing the views of countries that favor a firm attitude towards the Turkey. "We hope that the negotiations", on the contrary, stressed the Spanish State Secretary, while London was for "a limited suspension of the negotiations".
It is probably this last formula which should prevail, Europe no doubt preferring not to open new chapters of negotiation with Ankara rather than suspend, with the risk to open a serious crisis with a strategic partner.
