"Question No. 4 by Jonas Sjöstedt ()
The Turkish Supreme Court decreed on 25 May 2005 that the teachers' organisation Egitim Sen would be disbanded. The organisation will lose its right to represent almost 200 000 members in dealings with authorities or employers.
The situation stems from Egitim Sen's support in its constitution and policy documents for the principle that all children should have the right to tuition in their mother tongue and that all individuals should have the right to personal development on the basis of their own cultural background. The Supreme Court considers this to be contrary to the Turkish Republic's Constitution, which stipulates that all education shall be in Turkish.
The Commission has already acknowledged that Turkey maintains substantial restrictions on the right of association, the right to collective bargaining and the right to strike, and that Turkey still does not meet International Labour Organisation standards.
What consequences does the Council consider this ruling by the Supreme Court will have for the country's hopes to become a member of the EU?"@en1
