BERLIN – Despite continuing tensions over Russia’s invasion of Georgia this August, the European Union will reopen talks with Russia on a new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA). A PCA establishes a legal framework for negotiating specific agreements in such areas as trade, justice, and human rights.
柏林——尽管今年8月俄罗斯入侵格鲁吉亚造成的紧张局势仍在持续，欧盟还是将就一项新的伙伴与合作协议（PCA）重新开启与俄罗斯的对话。PCA是磋商贸易、司法和人权等领域具体协议的法律框架。当前的对话旨在替换1997年就已过期、但双方同意在签订新的协定之前继续有效的PCA。
