Accession talks between Turkey and the European Union will start on Oct. 3 and a process of screening may go parallel to the talks, EU's Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said yesterday.
Rehn, earlier this month, said the screening process, designed to check compatibility of the Turkish regulations with those of the EU, would start a day after the accession talks are officially launched on Oct. 3 and added that the screening could take up to a year, thus delaying the actual opening of the accession talks to the next year."
