to the Commission
Rule 130
Petr Mach (EFDD)

What stage has been reached in the process of introducing visa-free travel between the European Union and the Republic of Turkey? Does the Commission not fear that refugees from the Middle East and Africa will promptly be granted Turkish citizenship so that they will be able to enter EU territory and will no longer be a burden on the social welfare system in Turkey?
