The tenth meeting of the Accession Conference with Turkey at Ministerial level was held in Brussels on 5 November 2013. The Conference opened negotiations on Chapter 22 - Regional Policy and Coordination of Structural Instruments. This chapter covers one of the core EU policies, supporting job creation, competitiveness, innovation, economic growth, improved quality of life and sustainable development. News sources noted the significance of the restarting of the accession negotiations with Turkey after a gap of three years. However, obstacles remain notably over Cyprus, the human rights record of Turkey and opposition by some EU Member States to the concept of Turkey becoming a member of the EU. |
