  • The Security Dimension 27 September 2004, EU Institute For
    Antonio MISSIROLI/Walter POSCH Turkey and/in the EU: The Security Dimension 27 September 2004, EU Institute for Security Studies, Paris The Conference was organised with the explicit intention of plugging in the broader European debate - in the run-up to the reports to be delivered by the Commission on 6 October and with a view to the European Council decision on 17 December – but also of evaluating the potential implications of Turkish membership (or non-membership) for the Union’s security policy. Several Turkish officials and experts were invited to attend and give papers in order to engage in a common assessment of bilateral relations – present and future. I. Overview. After a cursory review of the main arguments (for and against) raised in the current debate over Turkey’s future EU membership, the Conference started with a broad overview of the current state of affairs. First of all, the fact that Ankara’s bid is generating ‘existential problems’ among EU members - it was said - should not be seen by Turkey as a delaying device: it has happened with each and every enlargement, although Turkey is definitely a very special candidate in its own right. Moreover, it is not because of their foreign policy that candidates are (or are not) taken in, although Turkey has a record of alignment with the CFSP acquis that is not as good as that of other candidates. Ankara’s deficit, in this respect, concerns mainly those EU positions that are seen as touching its regional interests; also, it has sometimes refrained from giving relevant information as requested by the Commission in the process.

  • Press Release
    TURKISH INDUSTRIALISTS’ & BUSINESS ASSOCIATION Representation to the EU and UNICE Brussels PRESS RELEASE TURKISH BUSINESS COMMITS TO PLAYING KEY ROLE IN EU ACCESSION TALKS FOCUSING ON DEMOCRACY, ECONOMY, SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY November 8, 2005, Brussels The European Commission’s annual progress report on Turkey to be published on 9 November 2005 is an important milestone enhancing the institutional framework of Turkey’s progress towards full EU membership. This year’s report comes in the context of accession talks that started on 3 October. We expect this new phase in the EU-Turkey relationship to be shaped by a more coherent institutional framework and by economic and social progress rather than political uncertainties. TUSIAD will monitor and contribute to this process through its working groups and policy committees covering different chapters of accession talks. TUSIAD's priorities for the next ten years of the EU accession process can essentially be outlined for the following four domains: 1. DEMOCRACY: TUSIAD has been a determined source of pressure and has shown leadership for Turkey’s progress towards sufficiently fulfilling the Copenhagen political criteria. TUSIAD will closely watch the progress of Turkey in executing democratic reforms as it continues with the remaining tasks of that process. The Turkish business community will also make sure that Turkey is a bearer of European values in its policies towards Asia and the Middle East. 2. ECONOMY: The European Commission’s report will identify Turkey as fulfilling market economy status. As a functioning market economy that has integrated with world markets for several decades and having a decade-long customs union with the EU since 1996, Turkey is progressively moving ahead to meet the Maastricht criteria.

  • The Customs Union Between the European Union and Turkey: a New Dimension in a Europe of Variable Geometry
    THE CUSTOMS UNION BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND TURKEY: A NEW DIMENSION IN A EUROPE OF VARIABLE GEOMETRY Dr. BAHADIR KALEAGASI On March 6, 1995, the European Union and Tukey agreed, under the terms of the Association Agreement signed in Ankara in 1963, to launch a customs union between them from the beginning of 1996. However, the starting date which is likely be delayed six months, is dependent on two processes - a technical review by the European Commission on whether Turkey has completed its mainly legislative preparations. - the assent of the European Parliament which is showing a determinant sensitivity on human rights and democracy reforms in Turkey. The EU-Turkey Association Council decision of March 6 is supplemented by a resolution on the development of high-level political dialogue between the parties and a financial cooperation package of 375 million ecus. The customs union covers the following areas: Foreign trade Abolition of tariff and non-tariff barriers Common Customs Tariff towards third countries Custom code Liberalization of trade in agro-industrial products Legislative harmonization Competition policy Intellectual and Industrial property protection Rules on state aids Public procurement procedures Standards Environmental policy Agricultural policy Whereas, for Turkey, the customs union represents a step towards full-membership of the EU, seen from Brussels it is economically a major extension of the European single market and politically a much needed answer to the geo-strategic challenge of reenforcing Turkey's European linkage.

Savelsberg answers this question in the context of the Armenian genocide committed during the First World War. Focusing on Armenians and Turks, Savelsberg examines strategies of silencing, denial, and acknowledgment in everyday interactions, public rituals, law, and pol- itics. He draws on interviews, ethnographic accounts, documents, and eyewitness ABOUT KNOWING testimony to illuminate the social processes that drive dueling versions of history. Ulti- mately, this study reveals the counterproductive consequences of denial in an age of human rights hegemony, demonstrating the implications for populist disinformation campaigns against overwhelming evidence. “This pioneering book is critical for understanding the background to Turkish denial as the fi nal stage of genocide. Savelsberg’s epistemic study is a warning against a revived shade of an Orwellian order, with its ‘alternative realities’ and ‘post-truths.’” CLAIRE MOURADIAN, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifi que, Paris GENOCIDE KNOWING “Knowledge denial is a deadly phenomenon and an urgent problem. Through pains- taking research, unrivaled expertise, and ethical commitment, Joachim J.
