I have the honour to bring to your attention a statement issued on 17 July 2001 by the Presidency of the European Union on behalf of the European Union concerning President Putin's statement supporting the abolition of the death penalty in the Russian Federation (see annex).
谨提请注意2001年7月17日欧洲联盟主席以欧洲联盟名义，就普京总统支持俄罗斯联邦废除死刑的讲话而发表的声明（见附件）。
