• Do you think Turkey should integrate the European Union ?


  • Don’t see any reason why not. They could benefit from the Euro.


  • It doesn’t matter what I think, it matters what they think.


  • I think Bulgaria should be in the EU


  • @Yanny:

    I know they will, but here some people believe they will not be a great asset for Europe. I am for the integration of Turkey, after all, the EU is not a christian club. The only potential problem is the weight of a big country like Turkey in the Union…

    @GeZe:

    I think Bulgaria should be in the EU

    Your people is very receptive, the support for EU membership is the highest (or a little behind Romania maybe); ~75%. Romania and Bulgaria should be in the EU after the integration of the current 10 new country, but for Romania it’s not certain, they are way behind Bulgaria in adopting EU legislation.


  • I wish we were in the European Economic Union . . . .


  • he only potential problem is the weight of a big country like Turkey in the Union…

    You see it as a problem, I see it as a great asset.


  • I really see no disadvantage for bringing Turkey into the EU. They are a large country with lots of natural resources, a good labor base, and lots of potential industrial expansion. They also have been one of the few Middle-Eastern countries that always supported Europe and the West.


  • I would love to see the turks in the EU, once they throw away that stupid death-sentence.
    The problem is that the EU already is clumsy in its bureaucracy, and it will be evenworse with the accepted newcomers.
    What has to be done, is give the EU more power over the nations, but of course no nation, especially the bigger ones, likes that.
    This is something, which i really can’t understand: In the long run every country in the EU will profit from a well-working EU, but it seems like some people don’t want the EU to work well when it is not working their and only their way.
    The EU surely is not a “christian club”, but it started out as western euopean club, then the scandinavians and some mediterraneans joined… now the east is joining, and then it’s the balkans (including turkey) turn…
    it will take some time i fear…

    Turkey abolished the death penalty

    I agree, but the UK does’nt even want the Euro, i doupt they will agree to centralization, it’s not in their nature.

    It certainly look like a christian club, we have very little reason not to accept Turkey as a candidate, Europe would benifit from this door to the middle-east.

    bash bash bash . . . .


  • i did’nt bash at the christians (not this time at least :) ), i just think we should not reject turkey because they are islamic.


  • The problem with Turkey is that it is a large, underpopulated country that spends 60% of its budget on defence. It would hurt the EU. But I’m not surprised they want to get in. They want to get as far away from the Arabs as possible.

    i didnt know that


  • Well, I’m sure that the EU will allow former Warsaw Pact countries in soon.


  • yes, Ierland voted yes so they can now take warsaw pact countrys


  • Ready or not, EU, here come the Hungarians!


  • hungry was in the warsaw pact

    AFAIR it is still in their laws, they just don’t execute it anymore…
    but i could be wrong here-

    I agree, but the UK does’nt even want the Euro, i doupt they will agree to centralization, it’s not in their nature.

    The UK should really rethink wether they want to stay in the EU…

    Yup, that’s done and will come
