EU-Russia Business Forum
In 2008, the EU-Russia Business Forum was established to bring together a small number of business representatives alongside key influencers from across the EU and Russia. This group helps define the terms of the new strategic relationship between the EU and Russia and interact with those that shape that relationship. It uses dialogue, debate and study to help both partners to adjust to new challenges and opportunities, to identify their common interests and to minimise actual or potential misunderstandings.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or forum:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“That age will be rich indeed when those relics which we call Classics, and the still older and more than classic but even less known Scriptures of the nations, shall have still further accumulated, when the Vaticans shall be filled with Vedas and Zendavestas and Bibles, with Homers and Dantes and Shakespeares, and all the centuries to come shall have successively deposited their trophies in the forum of the world. By such a pile we may hope to scale heaven at last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
