"France says some Turkey-EU chapters should wait for some time
France wants some parts of Turkey's accession talks with the European Union to go ahead before others, with those that assume Ankara will join the bloc waiting until later, a government spokesman said on Wednesday. In a speech on Monday setting out his foreign policy goals, President Nicolas Sarkozy said France would not oppose continued talks with Ankara as long as one possible outcome was the offer of an association with the EU rather than membership. France has said in the past it has a problem with five of the 35 areas, or 'chapters,' into which negotiations are divided, arguing that they assume an outcome of full membership."
