THE political fall-out from the arrest of Mikhail Khodorovsky, head of Yukos oil firm, on corruption charges is expected to figure prominently at the EU-Russia summit in Rome today (6 November).

External Relations Commissioner Chris Patten said the Yukos affair "undoubtedly will have an impact on foreign investors unless they can be sure this does not represent a politicization of the market place".
