"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, it is about a year since Commissioner Malmström announced to Parliament that negotiations with Turkey had been concluded on the EU-Turkey Readmission Agreement for third country nationals who had illegally entered the EU via Turkey. I should clarify at this point that today, as on every other day, as we are talking to you and taking advantage of the opportunity to put questions to you, over 320 third country nationals will enter EU territory from Turkey via the borders of northern Greece, especially in the area of the River Evros. Despite the fact that the agreement was concluded and approved by the Council about a year ago, Turkey has yet to approve it, let alone apply it, because it is asking in return, at least according to statements by Turkish officers that have come to our attention, for the liberalisation of visas for its nationals travelling to Europe. My question to you, Baroness Ashton, is this: do you too intend to take initiatives on this specific subject, in addition to what Commissioner Malmström is doing? Do you intend to take further action?"@en1
