Russia has attacked the EU’s failure to address human rights abuses in member states.
In a foreign ministry report, all 27 members of the EU are scrutinised using publications by the EU and NGOs.
A spokesman from the Russian foreign ministry said human rights and democratic freedoms were "continuing to deteriorate".
"At the level of institutions, the European Union is not taking adequate steps.” said Konstantin Dolgov.
"We think that time has come for our European partners to change the situation to ensure the observance of international obligations by all the EU members."
"We believe that nobody should have the monopoly to assess the human rights situation in other countries,"
Issues addressed in the report include far-right extremism, police brutality and CIA secret prisons.
