To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions she has had with her EU counterparts on Russia-EU relations. (115364)

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary and I regularly discuss aspects of the EU-Russia relationship with EU partners. EU Foreign Ministers together discussed EU-Russia relations at the General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC) on 13 November 2006. EU Foreign Ministers will discuss external energy relations, including with Russia, at the GAERC on 22-23 January.
