В 1990-е годы Брюссель отвернулся от России и сосредоточил основное внимание на развитии отношений с ближайшими соседями ЕС.
Тем не менее, сейчас ЕС начал уделять России более пристальное внимание. Однако большая часть диалога касается вопросов внешней политики и безопасности, где Брюссель по-прежнему относительно слаб, а не таких ключевых для интеграции проблем, как унификация законодательств и промышленных стандартов. Инициативы, подобные плану Проди — об интеграции российских энергетических ресурсов в Европу — пока очень расплывчаты. 272_Appendix A
Диалог между EC и Россией, хотя и желанный, скорее представляет бюрократическое мероприятие, чем движущую силу на пути к дальнейшей интеграции. И если обе стороны не предпримут конкретных шагов, чтобы изменить подобное положение, то скоро наступит разочарование. Россия начнет искать себе других союзников, а европейцы вновь вернутся к традиционным разговорам об огромных размерах России или культурных различиях. Исторический шанс может быть вновь упущен.
