Blockhead, Sarkozy and Merkel are shit scared of Turkey's position and potential in the region...

Multiculturalism did not exist in Germany,like it existed in Australia...There you had guest workers who were only supposed to be temporary residents till their finish their work and go back home...They were not encouraged to integrate and be part of the wider society...So if that is failure,Merkel should look at German policy for the reason...

Unfortunately for you,ridicule will not be enough to stop Turkey's accession to the leadership in her region...Watch this space,dumbo...

And weep...

EU-South Korea trade deal sparks no joy in Turkey

By Toby Vogel
14.10.2010 / 04:20 CET

Turkish businesses fear losing out from an EU-South Korea free-trade deal.
There was no celebration in Istanbul when Kim Jong-Hoon, South Korea's trade minister, and Karel De Gucht, European commissioner for trade, signed a free trade agreement in Brussels last Wednesday (6 October). The deal will lift, or reduce, tariff lines on most goods and liberalise investment and trade in services between the EU and South Korea. One study has found that the deal, which takes effect on 1 July 2011, will unlock extra trade worth close to €20 billion, and Commission officials use superlatives to describe the deal: the most ambitious trade pact since the North American Free Trade Agreement; the most wide-ranging trade agreement ever negotiated by the EU; the most innovative in tackling non-tariff barriers.

But the agreement has negative implications for Turkey, which was not at the negotiating table. Because it is in a customs union with the EU (see box, right), Turkey expects to feel the effects of increased competition from Korean goods as acutely as many EU member states. The Korea-EU trade agreement “is a big deal for Turkey”, said Sinan Ülgen, the chair of the Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies (EDAM), a think-tank in Istanbul.

Head-on competition
The most direct effect is on trade between the two countries: the deal “opens Turkey's market to Korean exports while Korea's market will remain closed to Turkish goods,” Ülgen said. Trade between Turkey and Korea is, however, negligible: Turkey exports very little to South Korea, while close to half of its exports go to the EU. That is where the real problem lies, according to Ülgen: by scrapping import tariffs on Korean goods, the EU chips away at Turkey's privileged position on the EU's internal market. Turkey and Korea manufacture many of the same goods – white goods, consumer electronics, automobiles, chemicals – and will now compete head-on.

A related Turkish fear is that Korean goods, once they circulate freely on the EU's internal market, will enter Turkey free of import restrictions or tariffs. There is nothing to prevent Turkey from maintaining import tariffs on Korean goods, but in practice they will be difficult to maintain, according to Bahadir Kaleagasi, the head of Brussels office of the Turkish Industry and Business Association (Tüsiad). It will be impracticable to trace Korean goods entering Turkey via an EU member state, he explains. “We are not against free trade with Korea, but we do not want trade distortions,” Kaleagasi said. Korea and Turkey have now begun free trade talks of their own, but Ülgen said that there was “no true economic incentive” for Korea to conclude such a deal.

Distant EU membership aspirations
The most profound effect, however, is on the very architecture of Turkey's trade relationship with the EU.

Turkey has benefited enormously from the customs union: by obliging Turkish exporters to comply with many of the EU's internal standards, the customs union has made Turkish exports more diversified and sophisticated than they were two decades ago. But the customs union was supposed to be the last stage of Turkey's association process with the EU and pave the wave for its full membership.

That prospect has now receded into the distant future, for political reasons. Without that end point, the relationship may now start drifting. “There will be a protracted period of soul-searching whether the customs union is sustainable,” said Ülgen, who was involved in negotiating the customs union in the 1990s.

An EU trade official said that it was “premature” to say whether there will be significant problems for Turkey

wow douche bag all is needed is a free trade agreement with china and one can pretty well guess what the outcome would be...

i guess superpower status will be on hold till some time next century...huh douche bag?...

here is an idea douche bag, stop reading trashy papers out of turkey and start reading some real news...

turkey is wholly depended upon the eu...end of story...turkey pulls out of eu accession, coz comes next year they are gonna blacklist them selves, and it's all over...not over you say, well she will have to deal with a tiny state with not only big but real cojones, called the roc...

watch this space douche bag, everything will be unravel further as it's in the best interest of the EU to have a free trade agreemnet with china...and every other country it wishes... a billion plus market in china with an ever increasing rising population eager to spend...

ofcourse big mighty superpower turkey can walk away from the eu free trade agreement, but she will need big cojones...douche bag do you think turkey has big cojones?...

[BirKibrisli]

Hey Ding Dong! Your stupidity knows no bounds....You should be praying and begging the EU to let Turkey in...Because that is the only way your ROC government will have any leverage...If Turkey has to turn away from the EU and towards the East and the South East,you can kiss goodbye 37 % of Cyprus...What incentive would Turkey have to give up one inch of Cyprus if she is kept out of the EU???

You have no idea about Turkish psychology,and you are too stupid to listen to those who do...You will get nothing from the Turks by threats or intimidation...But they will give you the shirts off their backs if you ask nicely...Get ready to do some heavy grovelling and arse licking...
