Metro News Canada – EU Urged to Drop Membership Offer from Turkey Migrant Deal
The European Union parliament wants to decouple the commitment to speed up EU membership talks with Turkey from last month’s agreement with Ankara to deal with the migrant crisis. Lawmakers said in Thursday’s non-binding resolution that “EU-Turkey co-operation on migration should not be linked to the calendar, content and conditionality of the negotiation process.” In the March 18 EU-Turkey agreement, both sides agreed that irregular migrants who came across the Aegean to Greece would be sent back to Turkey.
