"CDA Wants New EU Category: Partnership
THE HAGUE, 11/03/06 - The Christian democrats (CDA) do not want to offer any new countries candidate EU membership offering prospects of full membership of the EU. Instead, countries such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia-Montenegro and Albania should be offered a 'Partnership', according to a discussion memorandum.
Partnership would be a new category not leading to membership, but still clearly involving closer partnership with the EU than the European Neighbourhood Policy, which now applies to a number of countries in the former Soviet Union. Partnership could also for the CDA be the outcome of the negotiations between Turkey and the EU, according to the document drawn up by a working party for the largest government party."
