What happened to the GC VETO?

Postby Viewpoint » Fri Dec 15, 2006 12:20 pm

For the last few months our GC neightbours have been threatening and harping on about the mighty GC "RoC" using their veto if Turkey does not open her ports? What happened? Lost your bottle as they say in the UK :lol:

they are not vetoes as such just general agreement between members for suspension until further notice, the GCs threatened to veto the whole process, "stop Turkey in her tracks" make them pay for not recognizing the GC run "RoC". The ironic thing is nothing has changed now they are discussing opening 4 new chapters. It will take them more than 15+ years to complete the course so they can stay suspended for a very long time, is that what you want?

Obviously the RoC does not want Turkey to give up trying, it's in her best interest.

By the way, what happened to Turkey's attempt to "put the cat amongst the pigeons yet again"?

Listening to the reports live form Brussels last night it did just that the EU was running around trying to make a last minute attempt at applying pressure on the GC side to budge but of course they showed again their true colours of being rejectionists, that was the object of the whole exercise plus the the points scored for showing the Turkish PM can make decisions without the army :wink:
