"Accession negotiations with Turkey were opened on 3 October 2005 after the Council had approved the negotiating framework. Turkey has committed itself to reforms, good neighbourly relations, and progressive alignment with the EU. These efforts should be viewed as an opportunity for Turkey to modernise itself and to strengthen and further improve its democratic institutions, the rule of law and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. In its progress report for 2011, the Commission concluded that Turkey plays a key role in the security and prosperity of the European Union, that its contribution to the EU in a number of important areas will only become evident when a positive programme and credible access to the negotiation process are ensured, and that it is still extremely important for Turkey to continue reforms relating to the political criteria and to make further considerable efforts to safeguard fundamental rights. However, with a view to strengthening stability and promoting good neighbourly relations and a positive political and economic partnership, the representatives of the State must intensify their efforts to resolve outstanding bilateral issues with its immediate neighbours, including unresolved legal obligations and disputes over land and sea borders and airspace, in accordance with the provisions of the UN Charter and international law."@en1
