"The Council is aware of the problems which the honourable Member brought up and notes that, in its status report of 8 November 2000, the Commission set out a number of equal opportunities issues which Turkey needs to address.
As the Council has already confirmed on several occasions before this meeting, human rights, including the rights of women, are an important part of the EU Accession Partnership with Turkey, which sets out the prioritised areas on which preparations for accession must be concentrated, bearing in mind the political and economic criteria for accession and the responsibilities of a Member State.
Among the medium-term priorities, the EU has particularly focused on the wording in the agreement stating that Turkey must “remove remaining forms of discrimination against women and all forms of discrimination on the grounds of sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation”."@en1
