The UK will hold the European Union (EU) term presidency Friday for a
six month period. The take over took place among official contacts
between British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the European Commission (EC)
President Jose Manuel Durao Barroso and EC members.
During the meeting, Blair was optimistic about Turkey's membership. "It
is of utmost importance to us to consider promises by EC for Turkey's
membership. We will fulfill our promises, and Turkey will fulfil its
responsibilities," he said. Barroso expressed EC's expectations from
the UK term presidency of "a constructive and comprising leadership". |
