Turkey extremely resolved on reforms, Turkey's chief EU negotiator says
BRUSSELS (A.A) - 28.03.2011 - Turkey's chief negotiator for EU talks said on Sunday that both the ruling and the opposition of Turkey were resolved to fulfill EU reforms.
State Minister & Chief Negotiator for EU talks Egemen Bagis, speaking at a news conference held in Turkey's new EU Permanent Representation building which is expected to enter into service soon, said nobody had the right to question Turkey's will power for EU reforms.
"Turkish Parliament passed 3,200 articles (Turkish Commercial Code and Code of Obligations) in five days a month ago. We are in election atmosphere and politics may get tense from time to time. This is natural. However, our hearts beat as one when Turkey's interests are in question," Bagis said.
Referring to chapter heading on competition, Bagis said, "we do our best. Turkey gained a government support authority in this scope. A road map and a strategy document have been formed to see at what stage some supports can be synchronized with the EU regulations. Everybody worked devotedly to achieve this goal."
Bagis said there were differences of opinion within the EU Commission regarding competition chapter. "This is something which they should resolve within themselves. We have told them what Turkey could do and could not do. Our European counterparts finally comprehended very clearly that we will not put Turkey's economy into a crisis for EU," he said.
Bagis said statements of some circles that Turkey disinclined from the EU were not convincing, "may be some circles here focused opening of chapter heading on competition on the elections in Turkey. However, I should clarify that nothing much will change in Turkey in the elections. Both the ruling and the opposition parties are apparent."
Bagis said the EU should review its approach to Turkey if it wants to be taken seriously while making a call for human rights, democracy and transparency to the countries of North Africa and the Middle East.
