The European Union will need to reform its budget system and may have to impose restrictions on the free movement of labour before it can admit Turkey as a member, according to a document sent to EU Member States on 29 November 2004 from the Dutch EU Presidency. The document attempts to sketch out the likely conclusions of a historic summit at the European Council, 16-17 December 2004, when EU leaders will decide how and when to open membership negotiations with Ankara.
