uin	33258
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
