Same request are also formulated in the latest report of the Council of Europe’s Group of States against Corruption (GRECO). 1. What are the reasons of the absence of both issues in the National Programme (for the EU accession process) elaborated by the government? 2. If the government disagrees with the EU on these fundamental issues, what would be the meaning of its satisfaction by the European Commission’s Progress Report?” __________________________________________________________________ Please refer as well to: http://brussels.chp.org.tr Facebook: CHP EU http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=69239487060&ref=ts Twitter: CHP EU https://twitter.com/CHPEU
