Enlargement: The accession process
     Copenhagen Criteria (1993):
     Political: rule of law, stable institutions, democracy, respect
      for human rights.
     Economic: functional market economy.
     Legal: EU laws and practice. Adherence to the terms of a
      political, economic and monetary union.

     Joining the EU is a 3 stage process:

1.    A country is offered a prospect of membership.
2.    The country is given official candidate status.
3.    Formal membership negotiations.

Turkey: Timeline
1959: Turkey applies for associate membership of EEC.
1963: Ankara Agreement signed, aiming to enter a customs
  union.
1987: Turkey applies for full EEC membership.
1995: Customs union founded between Turkey and the EU.
1997: Council declares Turkey eligible to become a
  member state.
2004: Council defines conditions for opening accession
  negotiations.
2005: Negotiations formally opened.
Turkey and European Union
-   Long-term process with shifting attitudes from the EU
    towards a full membership for Turkey.

-   Applied for membership of the EEC in 1987 (association
    agreement with EEC in 1963) and the accession
    negotiations froze in 2006.

-   Turkey has made great progress pursuing EU standards
    yet they lack several important areas(commission
    progress report 2005).

-   Why not Turkey?
Pros and preferences for a Turkish
membership in the EU

-   The emergence of democracy and vibrant
    economy in Turkey.
(Enlargement Policy; the spread of liberal democratic ideas and market
economy principles).


-   A reinforcement of Security.
(Maintaining security in the eastern Mediterranean, role model for
neighbouring Islamic states. May help to create security and stability in
the European continent. Geographical location).
Concerns and problems regarding a full
membership for Turkey




   The conflict with Cyprus and Greece
   Conditionality and criteria issues
   Geographical and Cultural issues
   Association partnership instead of full
    membership?
Attitudes towards Turkish membership


- Attitude among European citizens.
(Four factors which can explain attitudes: Economic             costs and
benefits, cultural differences, political ideology and the general attitudes
towards the EU).


-   Perspectives of the Turkish elite.
(Opinions on membership. Political and cultural issues. Reflection on
rejection and future prospect. Cost and benefits. Any concerns?).
Statistic view of
the 27 member
states support for
Turkish accession:

- The countries who are
most supportive are the
two newest members:
Romania and Bulgaria



- Among the countries
who are least
supportive we find
France and Austria.
Both countries are likely
to have referendums
about the Turkish
accession.

Adherence to the terms of a political, economic and monetary union. Joining the EU is a 3 stage process: 1. A country is offered a prospect of membership. 2. The country is given official candidate status. 3. Formal membership negotiations.

  • 7. Turkey and European Union - Long-term process with shifting attitudes from the EU towards a full membership for Turkey. - Applied for membership of the EEC in 1987 (association agreement with EEC in 1963) and the accession negotiations froze in 2006. - Turkey has made great progress pursuing EU standards yet they lack several important areas(commission progress report 2005). - Why not Turkey?
  • 8. Pros and preferences for a Turkish membership in the EU - The emergence of democracy and vibrant economy in Turkey. (Enlargement Policy; the spread of liberal democratic ideas and market economy principles). - A reinforcement of Security. (Maintaining security in the eastern Mediterranean, role model for neighbouring Islamic states. May help to create security and stability in the European continent. Geographical location).
  • 9. Concerns and problems regarding a full membership for Turkey  The conflict with Cyprus and Greece  Conditionality and criteria issues  Geographical and Cultural issues  Association partnership instead of full membership?
  • 10. Attitudes towards Turkish membership - Attitude among European citizens. (Four factors which can explain attitudes: Economic costs and benefits, cultural differences, political ideology and the general attitudes towards the EU). - Perspectives of the Turkish elite. (Opinions on membership. Political and cultural issues. Reflection on rejection and future prospect. Cost and benefits. Any concerns?).
  • 11. Statistic view of the 27 member states support for Turkish accession: - The countries who are most supportive are the two newest members: Romania and Bulgaria - Among the countries who are least supportive we find France and Austria. Both countries are likely to have referendums about the Turkish accession.
