Budget 2000 marks a major turning point in the whole question of funding for Turkey. The Council has introduced the amounts to be used for action to extend the EU-Turkey Customs Union and for the economic and social development of Turkey, but it has not set the usual political criteria which have to be fulfilled nor has it allocated any of the funds to action over the earthquakes.
For the first time in years, the amendment of the Committee on Budgets not only approves the Council’s appropriations but actually increases them, thereby making good the cuts the Council had previously made as a result of Kosovo. Also, instead of stipulating the political criteria which the European Parliament had so rigidly laid down, it has simply confined itself in the “Remarks” section to mention of an institutional control mechanism, the actual effectiveness of which, from our experience with the MEDA programme, is somewhat questionable.
Unfortunately, the position of the European Parliament benefits neither democratic nor human rights in Turkey, does not encourage a settlement of the Cyprus and Kurdish questions and does not support the tragic victims of the earthquakes in Turkey."@en1
