"I will be very brief again. I would like to say that we have adopted a very frank report on how Turkey can responsibly amend its legislation in accordance with the EU model and also concerning the fact that the political criteria in the area of human rights, especially in relation to women and religious minorities, have not yet been fulfilled, just as the Cyprus issue remains open. Despite this, a majority of MEPs supported the start of accession talks some years ago. I welcome the fact that Turkey is moving towards democracy and towards Europe, but I would like to say once again that a better solution to economic relations would have been to set up a privileged partnership rather than to promise accession to Turkey with its 70 million-strong population. It would also be more frank in view of the fact that, as I fear, an accession agreement would not be approved in a future referendum anyhow."@en1
