"I voted in favour of adopting Turkey’s progress report 2009. Although accession negotiations with Turkey started on 3 October 2005, they have made very little progress up until now. The European Parliament feels that Turkey is still not meeting the Copenhagen political criteria. Far-reaching constitutional reform is required to ensure greater respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The European Commission noted that during 2009, Turkey made some progress, albeit limited, on political reforms. The situation in Turkey has improved in terms of freedom of expression in minorities’ languages.
I believe that the European Union must continue dialogue with Turkey and show openness to this country. Turkey is extremely important to Europe, both from the perspective of economic and political ties and for the European Union’s energy security. My country wishes to develop the partnership with Turkey as part of both the Black Sea Synergy and the European Union’s neighbourhood programmes."@en1
