The United States must respect the European Union and let it advance at its own pace in EU membership talks with Turkey, EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said today. 'I presume that the Americans are smart enough to understand that this really is an issue that concerns Europe, not the United States,' Olli Rehn said in an interview with the Finnish state broadcaster YLE. 'I hope that the United States understands that this is a matter of European Union decision making, and although we work with the United States on this and on many other issues, the United States should respect the EU's own pace.'"
