Turkey and the EU back to the table
The complicated negotiations between the EU and Turkey are going on. Today's Zaman reports that the EU agreed on Tuesday to open another chapter (Chapter 20 on enterprise and industrial policies) in its accession talks with Turkey after a mini-crisis between France and Spain.
"Spain, one of the strongest supporters of Turkey's EU bid, blocked a possible compromise last Friday on technical issues but agreed to the opening of accession talks with a new compromise among member states on Chapter 20. In an enlargement working group meeting Tuesday, member countries finally agreed to open Chapter 20 on enterprise and industrial policies after the German presidency held emergency talks between Spain, France and the European Commission (EC) on Monday."
