"The EU-25's view of Turkey's membership bid
In Short:
Turkey's drive to enter the EU as a full member has reached a critical phase: in December, the EU summit will decide on whether (or, rather, when) to open accession talks with Ankara. The leaders of the 25 member states would need to reach an unanimous decision, and the decision in turn would need to be convincing to the member states' citizens. The challenge is huge for all sides concerned."
