The EU-Russia summit

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7063169.stm
<snip>
There is also a renewed self-confidence among EU leaders following the conclusion of a new reform treaty last week and the electoral defeat of Poland's nationalist government which had been blocking talks on a new wide-ranging agreement with Moscow.

They will be closely watching the Portuguese Prime Minister, Jose Socrates, the host of the summit, who earlier this year said he would not lecture Russia.

This planet needs someone who will stand up to Bush. I will not lecture Putin or anyone else who is prepared to stand up to Bush.
