On behalf of the CSU Members of the European Parliament, I would like to clarify our position in relation to the possible opening of accession negotiations with Turkey once more. Today's vote has shown that the 'privileged partnership' model is endorsed by many of our fellow Members from all EU Member States and all political groups. This refutes the arguments, in particular, of those who claim that the CDU and the CSU are isolated on this issue in Europe. I hope that the European Council will also take this into account at its deliberations on Friday. We continue to take the view that the European Union's record of success would be massively jeopardised by Turkish accession. Anyone wanting Europe to degenerate into a free-trade area will achieve their objective through Turkey's accession. If, on the other hand, we want a strong Europe with the capacity to act, the special relationship established by a privileged partnership is the appropriate means by which to fulfil this aim. The European Council, at its meeting on Friday, must be mindful of this responsibility."@en1
