"The Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Cem, did in fact send a letter to his counterparts in the Member States of the European Union. The Council did not receive a copy of this letter but the Presidency has, of course, replied to Mr Cem and all of the Member States were informed about the content of the reply given.
As regards the Accession Partnership with Turkey to which you referred, the Commission put forward its proposals on 8 November at the same time as it submitted its report on the progress made by each of the 13 applicant States regarding their application for membership. The Council must now examine these proposals. The Presidency still aims to adopt the partnership during the General Affairs Council on 20 November, which is why perhaps the issue was not dealt with in detail in the answer Mr Vedrine gave to Mr Cem. The Presidency has, however, stressed in this instance how important it is for this partnership to become a useful mechanism in defining Turkey’s future national programme for adopting the Community
and for implementing its pre-accession strategy, in accordance with the terms and spirit of the conclusions of the Helsinki European Council. I also think that the debate we had earlier on Turkey shows the spirit in which the Council and the Commission wish to work."@en1
