The European Union (EU) has thrown its weight behind Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organisation¹ (WTO).

欧盟全力支持俄罗斯加入世贸组织的请求。

Russia is set to end a 17-year wait to join the free trade club
The EU gave its formal support after Russia agreed to cut timber（木材） export tariffs²（关税） and rail freight（货运，运费） fees.

Russia is the only major economy that is still not a member of the global free trade club.

"After the signing of the agreements... Russia's accession to the WTO becomes a reality," said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

The agreement was signed by EU Trade Commissioner³ Karel De Gucht and Russian Economic Development Minister Elvira Nabiullina, meeting at a bilateral⁴（双边的） European-Russian trade summit.

Brussels' decision to lift its veto（否决权） on Moscow's membership is expected to open the way for Russia to join next year.

It ends a 17-year wait for Russia, who first applied⁵ to join the organisation's predecessor⁶（前任，前辈） - the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Gatt) - under President Boris Yeltsin.
