TURKEY-EU CUSTOMS UNION: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
Abstract :
Turkey entered the final stage of its association with the European Union with the entry into force of the customs union on 1.1.1996. A customs union is an advanced form of economic integration which brings commercial and economic costs and benefits to both parties. In this connection Turkish industry entered a period of restructuring and increased its share in European markets. As of today, there are a number of problems stemming from the implementation of the customs union. The final target is Turkey’s membership to the EU as a result of the accession negotiations continuing since 2005. However, until that day, the current problems have to be resolved within the Association Council by way of joint decision –making mechanisms.
