'PA'


An influential European Parliament committee recommended on today that the EU open membership talks with Turkey, but only if the country follows through on democratic reforms.

An amended report approved in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Union�s assembly said the December EU summit should �open the negotiations with Turkey without undue delay� if conditions are met.

�The compromise got the balance between constructive and critical in the right way,� said Camiel Eurlings, the Dutch Christian Democrat who drafted the report."
