"I thank the Council for its reply. Of course, I have no doubt that you are aware of the situation as regards women's rights in Turkey and that there is a problem with human rights in general, but I would have expected the Council to give a more specific response to the problems faced by women in Turkey today, especially in the form of institutionalised discrimination, i.e. legal discrimination against women. It is a fact that no progress is being made in reforming the civil code and we know that there were numerous incidents in the committee which tried to discuss this reform.
I should also like to ask the Council how it intends to react to the fact that Turkey is being obstructive and refusing to enshrine equal opportunities in its constitution. Women in Turkey expect the European Union to take more effective action to abolish discrimination and the inequalities which currently exist in Turkey."@en1
