EU to endorse Russia's entry into WTO Moscow:
Russia and the European Union have signed a protocol which
endorses EU backing for Russia's accession to the World
Trade Organisation. In turn Russian President Vladimir
Putin said Moscow would look positively towards the ratification
of the Kyoto protocol.
No fewer than 55 countries must ratify the Kyoto Protocol,
accounting for at least 55 percent of global emissions
in 1990, in order that the protocol may come into force.
Russia's ratification is essential if this minimum has
to be reached, because the US and several other key countries
have rejected the treaty.
