Roundtable on EU-Turkey-Germany Relations
Alexander Bürgin, Head of EURAC was invited to hold a speech at a roundtable at Yaşar University, Izmir, titled "Turkey-EU-Germany Relations at a Crossroads: What Future Awaits the Trio?".Bürgin emphasized that a stronger focus on the social dimension of the EU is necessary in order to win back citizens support for the EU. He argued that France and Germany have to come up with a common position, doubted however that all member states will accept a significant shift of competences from the national to the European level. As regards EU-Turkey relations, he welcomed current reciprocal attempts to improve the relations as both sides benefit from close cooperation.
