"Where Turkey stands in respect of membership of the EU Ferit Ergin
The tenth of the Regular Reports on Turkey, which are published annually since 1998, and the Enlargement Strategy Paper outlining expectations regarding the future of Europe, have been made public on November 6,2007 by the European Union Commission. Turkey is committed to the aim of full membership. This objective enjoys the support of our Government, the Turkish people and public opinion. Our determination is unswerving in this respect; and our commitment to addressing our shortcomings and the effective implementation of reforms is in no way diminishing. To the contrary, our resolve to this end has only increased. We will continue with the reforms until we raise our country to the highest levels in terms of democracy and human rights."
