EU paves way for Turkey to join The European Commission has recommended opening talks on the admission of Turkey to the EU Mr Prodi said Turkey would have to improve its human rights record if the talks were to succeed and warned that Turkish membership was not a foregone conclusion.
Tricky one! I actually think the cons outweigh the pros with Turkey, although I certainly wouldn't want to isolate them from the rest of Europe it may only benefit Turkey if Turkey join. It's just another place where companies can move to in order to exploit low labour costs.
