EC Worked out 150 Requirements for Turkey
The European Commission (EC) has worked out a list of 150 requirements, without meeting these Turkey cannot be accepted to the EU. Before the end of 2007 Turkey has to repeal death penalty, establish freedom of belief, political control over the military and form an independent judicial system. The talks on adjustment of requirements for Turkey's accession to the EU will start in 2006, however the EU supposes Turkey will not be ready to the reforms before 2015, reported the Yerkir newspaper.
