Many Turks heaved a sigh of relief in December 2004, when EU leaders declared that Turkey could start accession negotiations in October 2005. Some 40 years after the EU had first opened up the prospect of membership, that goal finally appeared to be within reach. Yet as the opening of those accession talks approaches, the mood in Turkey is decidedly sombre. The EU is preoccupied with its own internal problems, following the collapse of its constitutional treaty and bitter rows over the EU budget. Recent polls show that a majority of West Europeans are now against Turkish membership. Germany’s likely next chancellor, and most of the plausible candidates for France’s presidential elections, are openly arguing for a ‘privileged partnership’ instead of full EU membership. Meanwhile, reforms within Turkey have slowed, and the Turkish public is becoming less enthusiastic about EU accession. One thing is clear: Turkish accession will be a long and often difficult journey. And it is only just beginning.
Turkey has made tremendous progress in addressing the EU’s political requirements, but very few
people in Turkey realise that to join the EU they will have to adopt tens of thousands of pages of EU laws and regulations, and align their policies with the EU in areas stretching from maritime safety to debt relief in Africa. Grabbe argues that the Turkish government should redouble its efforts to explain to the country’s people and businesses what accession is really about. She also advises the Turks to study the EU’s last round of enlargement – which brought ten countries into the EU in May 2004 – carefully: it offers valuable lessons on how to manage the negotiations and sustain public support for EU accession
