strasbourg - The European Parliament wants to close the money supply for Turkey next year. The so-called pre-accession support of the EU should be reduced by EUR 147 million in 2019 due to political developments in the country, in addition to a 40% reduction proposed by the European Commission for the next two years.
Turkey receives about 700 million euros per year on average to prepare the country for EU membership in all kinds of policy areas. However, negotiations have been stalled for quite some time. In October, the EU Parliament already agreed to spend 70 million euros of the available support in 2018 on migration programs.
