"EU-TURKEY: BARROSO, NEGOTIATION SHOULD CONTINUE
(AGI) - Berlin, Sept 25 - 'The decision concerning Turkey's admission to the European Union will be made at the end of the negotiation process, not before,' said the president of the European commission Manuel Durao Barroso in an interview to the newspaper 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'. 'The request of the French president Nicolas Sarkozy to convene a "Council of experts" to discuss the future of Europe does not compromise the commitments that have already been made. Sasrkozy has not proposed to open a discussion on geographical aspects, also because the European borders both according to the rule of the law and to geography are indelible. With reference to Turkey, the right idea is to decide on Turkey's admission to the EU after evaluating the results of negotiations, not before. "
