"Turkey and the E.U.
01:00 AM EDT on Tuesday, October 19, 2004
The European Commission has voted to recommend that negotiations begin to admit Turkey to the European Union.
This does not mean that Turkey is about to join the E.U. It means that the leaders of the 25 member nations, when they meet in December, will be called upon to accept or reject the commission's advice. Although there were dissenting voices when the commission recently assembled, the full E.U. is likely to endorse the commission's findings and extend an invitation to Turkey to begin talks."
