".
The Commission is aware that Turkey has blocked applications by the Republic of Cyprus for membership of a number of international organisations, as was clearly mentioned in the 2005 Progress Report on Turkey, which we published in November.
The Commission fully shares the position set out in the document defining the framework for accession negotiations, in other words the negotiating mandate of the Union that Turkey should progressively align positions within international organisations with those of the EU, including in relation to membership of all Member States in relevant organisations.
This position is reflected in the Commission’s proposal for a revised accession partnership with Turkey, in which one of the short-term priorities is that Turkey should ‘progressively align policies towards third countries and positions within international organisations with those of the EU and its Member States, including in relation to the membership by all EU Member States of relevant organisations and arrangements such as Wassenaar.
The Commission will use all the instruments at its disposal, in particular the negotiating framework and the association agreement, as well as the accession partnership in order to ensure that Turkey aligns progressively with the Community
also in this regard. I remind you that this was one of the key issues that was discussed on 3 October when the decision on the opening of the accession negotiations with Turkey was taken.
I would also like to point out that the EU Presidency has just made a demarche to Turkey concerning the Cyprus application for membership in the Wassenaar agreement."@en1
