Turkey not yet ready for EU entry: Barroso
It's the adultery. You can't be a real European without adultery. It just isn't done, y'know...Turkey is not yet ready for entry into the European Union, but the 25-nation bloc cannot reject Ankara's membership if it meets all the requirements, the incoming EU Commission chief said on Tuesday. "If Turkey responds positively to the criteria that have been established, I don't see how we could say no (to Turkish entry)," Jose Manuel Durao Barroso told the French newspaper Le Monde in an interview. Asked if Turkey was ready for membership he said: "No, not yet. It has made a great deal of progress, we recognise that, but as I speak to you now, not all the criteria have been met."
