In Short:

Brief News:
After repeated attempts to formulate a unified stance on a declaration addressing Turkey's refusal to recognise Cyprus, a meeting of the member states' permanent representatives (COREPER) failed again on 14 September to agree on a wording. Formally, the accession talks with Turkey cannot open in absence of a unanimous EU-25 agreement on the technical terms of the talks (the so-called negotiating road map)."
