We Recommend Start of Negotiations with Turkey

The commissioner informed that there were some concerns included in the report. He said that a rigid framework was suggested for the negotiations, and reminded that they could be suspended at any time. In addition, a permanent restriction could still be applied to the freedom of movement; however, he does not think that the issue will keep the negotiations from proceeding.

The commissioner said that the recommendation decision was forwarded to the EU Council. The EU Council and EU member countries will have the final say on the matter.
