"This is just another progress report on negotiations with Turkey and again, the essential elements have been overlooked: Turkey is
a European country. It is not even a European country geographically and it is even less a European country in terms of culture, history, economy and religion. All in all, that fact is far more important than any arguments of an incidental nature, some of which have, fortunately, been included in this report.
What is completely missing is a clear and strong stance on the huge sums of European financial aid provided to Turkey each year, the efficient use of which is doubtful, to say the least. Might we not get in exchange large-scale illegal immigration of people from Turkish-speaking Asian countries who are allowed to enter Turkey without a visa and who will then, of course, be able to cross the border with Greece? For all these reasons and many others, I could not endorse this report."@en1
