| France Will Not Consider Turkey's Entry Into European Union | |
| 2004-04-07 | |
| Foreign Minister Michel Barnier told parliament Wednesday that France would oppose Turkey's entry into the European Union "under current circumstances." Barnier, who was named foreign minister in a government reshuffle last week, told lawmakers that Ankara has not met the conditions necessary for entry into the EU, such as ensuring the independence of its judiciary and implementing human rights reforms. "Turkey does not respect the conditions, even if it is preparing to do so," he said, adding that there was "no question" of Turkey's joining the EU "under current circumstances."
