A confidential six-page memo on the state of European Union relations with Russia has been obtained by the Financial Times. The memo was prepared for consideration by European Foreign Ministers meeting at the General Affairs and External Relations Council in Brussels on 23 February 2004. Russia is refusing to accept the permanent extension of the EU's Partnership and Co-operation Agreement (PCA) to new Member States, complaining that the PCA will allow new Members to export at lower tariff levels to Russia.
