"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I am astounded that the Council knows far less about this than the Turkish press. For example, it is a known fact that the relevant committee of the Turkish National Assembly has submitted a bill on parties in which no changes have been made as regards the ban on the word ‘communist’. I also find it hard to understand why the Council does not know that members of the Communist Party of Turkey are being prosecuted, given that 150 members have been arrested and their offices have been raided, all from the day it opened for business.
But apart from all that, there were one or two quite specific points in my question, to which I have not received a reply. Does the Council consider that Turkey can be a candidate country, or rather can it become a member of the European Union without first having lifted the ban? I did not receive a reply to this specific question."@en1
