Until now, Russia has cared less about a new PCA than the EU, because two-thirds of Russia’s exports to the Union comprise natural resources, which bring in cash even without the strong rules that a PCA provides. Given the stark changes in economic conditions, however, it is now in Russia’s national interest to reassure international markets that it is a reliable place to do business, for which a new PCA would serve as an ideal signal.
目前为止，俄国对协议的关心并不像欧盟那样强烈，因为俄国向欧盟出口的三分之二是自然资源。因此，即使没有协议规定的硬性条款也能够带来现金收入。但是，由于经济形势发生了剧烈变化，现在俄国向国际市场重新保证其是个经商的可靠地方符合自身的利益，而新的协议就是一个理想的信号。
