The position and importance of Turkey in the scope of energy policies of the enlarging EU

Increasing demand for oil and gas in the enlarging EU will mostly be satisfied by outside resources, due to Union’s limited oil and gas production capability. Turkey’s geographical location offers variety of opportunities in terms of oil and gas transportation from the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf regions to the EU. As well as connecting the EU to the Middle East, Turkey also plays an important role in the Mediterranean. From the EU’s perspective, abovementioned reasons add further importance to Turkey.

Gümrük Birliği sonrasında Türkiye'de dışa açıklık ve sanayileşme

Avrupa Birliği Anayasa Taslağı Üzerine Değerlendirmeler

The Convention on the Future of Europe has completed its work and submitted the “Draft Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe” to the Presidency on the 18th of July, 2003. This “draft” which brings forth certain fundamental changes to the institutional structure of the Union will now be discussed and adopted-albeit with amendments- by the Intergovernmental Conference, by the consensus of the EU Member States. The Convention’s objective was twofold; to prepare the Union’s institutional and legal structure on the one hand for the widening, and on the other, for the deepening of the integration process.

Here it is submitted that such balance has been preserved to a huge extent
