". I abstained in the final vote on the report on Turkey’s application for membership of the European Union. I think that the European Union’s strategy in response to Turkey’s application for membership, since the decision in Helsinki in 1999 granting it the status of a candidate country, is unrealistic. Every year the European Parliament examines the progress made by Turkey towards accession, when that accession is not a current issue. The accession negotiations have not begun and we do not yet know the timetable for them. It is the Heads of State and Government who will decide when they meet at the European Council in December 2004, based on an evaluation report on the situation in Turkey, if a timetable should be set for beginning accession negotiations. I cannot, therefore, see why the European Parliament is today taking yet another position on this issue and I did not therefore wish to associate myself with it."@en1
