Description: In March 2004, a group of concerned Europeans, deeply committed to the European integration process and having held high public office, formed the Independent Commission on Turkey. Their purpose was to explore the major challenges and opportunities connected with Turkey's possible accession to the European Union. They met regularly for intensive discussions, visited Turkey, and analysed expertise from various sources. This report presents the findings of the Independent Commission on Turkey. The Commission hopes to contribute to a more objective and rational debate on Turkey's accession to the European Union, which is considered one of the major challenges for Europe in the coming years. The report is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Turkish.
