Boris Zala (S&D). – (SK) Madam President, Turkey is a candidate country for accession to the European Union, but I believe that the EU’s foreign policy cannot wait for the outcome of this process. Turkey should therefore be drawn more into the European Union’s foreign policy, including by means of the European Neighbourhood Policy. It is therefore necessary for the Commission, as well as the External Action Service, to find any possible ways of drawing Turkey into the European Neighbourhood Policy. We can see that Turkey is active in promoting democratic reforms in the southern neighbourhood of the European Union. We need to draw both Turkish institutions and also non-governmental organisations into the European Neighbourhood Policy, which would create a synergistic effect. We need to restore a structured dialogue between the EU and Turkey in order to coordinate the neighbourhood policy of both countries. Finally, I believe that, in light of new trends, such an approach also needs to be applied to Russia.
