"Although Turkey has been an associate country since 1963, accession negotiations did not start until 2005. For the European Union, Turkey is not only a candidate country; it is also a country that plays a very important regional role in relations with neighbouring states. The close cooperation between Turkey and the EU is evidence of a close relationship that has lasted for several decades. I therefore welcome the positive approach of the Commission, with which our grouping agrees. The accession negotiations are, unfortunately, not progressing as quickly as we would wish. Turkey still faces many problems and challenges, which include, in particular, the freedom of speech and the Kurdish and Cyprus questions. The potential entry of Turkey into the EU therefore requires that these problems be resolved as quickly as possible, and that the situation regarding the judiciary and the protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms be improved. I firmly believe that we will achieve this together."@en1
