From today's news, I gather that if Turkey is to be invited for discussions this year end, joining will be around 2015. There are many hurdles that must be met. Tony |

What's the current prognosis for Turkey joining the EU economic union and adopting the Euro? Ask again in 15 to 20 years g. First, a country cannot join the economic part of the European Union only. Which is why, in the case of Turkey, there have not been any membership negotiations so far ... That may change fairly soon, though. Next month the European Commission will "recommend" whether official negotiations with Turkey should start or not. For some recent info on that issue see http://www.euobserver.com/?sid=9&aid=17360 But even if Turkey becomes an EU member in a couple of years, that does not mean it can "automatically" adopt the euro. Keep in mind that the ten countries which joined the EU this year have very different schedules concerning the currency union ... Christian |

The first has gone a step forward I think, but it will still take quite some years. The latter is still doubtful, and will be later. Although the current policy appears to be that new EU members will adopt the euro within some reasonable time after entering the EU, but I do not know whether there is a real time-frame involved. -- dik t. winter, cwi, kruislaan 413, 1098 sj amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |

The current policy is that the euro will be adopted (so, no new Danmark, Sweden or UK), but a time-frame is lacking. The only new country for which I read about a definite year was Malta, where the intended year of 2005 was changed to 2006. -- dik t. winter, cwi, kruislaan 413, 1098 sj amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |

Amnesty International may have a different opinion on this issue. Indeed. But I think that you will find approximately the same for Slovakia. But quite a bit in the Turkish policy has been changed already, like the possibility to use Kurdish. There is much more desired, but whether the torture is still systematic is another question. -- dik t. winter, cwi, kruislaan 413, 1098 sj amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |
