	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/04/2016 answer text The UK supports Turkey’s EU accession process, which remains the most effective mechanism for continuing reform in Turkey. Turkey’s accession itself is not on the cards for many years to come. Turkey first applied for associate membership of the EEC in 1959, and there remains a very significant amount of detailed work to do before Turkey is ready to join the EU including economic reforms. Every Member State has a veto at every stage. For the UK, the EU Act 2011 requires any Accession Treaty admitting a candidate country to membership to be ratified by Act of Parliament. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 14/04/2016 15:42:57 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

We fully support the aims of the day, and the focus both on press freedom and the safety of journalists. We have no plans at present to host a future World Press Freedom Day. We do, however, mark the day across our network, hosting events and issuing statements, such as our “Shine a Light” campaign in 2013 which highlighted repression of the media and freedom of expression across the world. Through events and statements we use the day to reaffirm our commitment to a free press, the safety of journalists and freedom of expression which is one of our human rights priorities. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 19/01/2015 16:17:42 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>We have not received a request from the Greek government for assistance. If we do, we will assess this on the basis of need. Greece is not eligible to receive Official Development Assistance as it has a GNI per capita of around $22,000. The maximum GNI per capita for a country to be ODA eligible is around $13,000. In the short to medium term it is therefore unlikely we could provide support through the aid budget.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 13/07/2015 16:29:06 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
