Eu's Fule Pledges Objectivity On Turkey's Progress

EU's enlargement chief said Thursday the next progress report on Turkey would be objective, reflecting both positive and negative developments over the last year.



Turkish Minister for EU Affairs Volkan Bozkir met Stefan Fule, EU's enlargement chief in Brussels, the first meeting since the appointment of Bozkir to his new post. 



Bozkir has had several meetings with European diplomats and politicians in Strasbourg and Brussels this week, and his visit to the EU comes as the bloc is set to release the next progress report on Turkey in the forthcoming days. 



"We agreed to revive our cooperation to achieve the common goal of seeing Turkey in the EU one day," Fule said on his official twitter account. 



Bozkir and Fule exchanged views on EU-Turkey relations, the accession process of Turkey and the next progress report on Turkey to be released in the forthcoming days, said a statement from the European Commission.



Fule said that constructive cooperation between the EU and Turkey would continue in all areas including economy and trade, foreign policy dialogue, visa and migration policy and energy, according to the statement.



Fule also expressed the necessity of enhancing engagement with the Commission on the rule of law and fundamental rights.
