EU Parliament Delays Vote On Turkey-EU Customs Union
STRASBOURG, France (AP)--The European Parliament postponed its vote Wednesday on the ratification of Turkey's customs union with the E.U. following opposition from conservative lawmakers.
The Parliament voted 311-285 to postpone the vote because of Ankara's refusal to recognize Cyprus.
Sixty-five MEPs abstained. The adjournement of the ballot has no effect on the starting date for Turkey's accession negotiations with the E.U., scheduled for Oct. 3."
