Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alan Meale (Labour), on Wednesday, 12 July 1995, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 34 members in total.
TURKISH APPLICATION FOR EU CUSTOMS UNION
That this House condemns the Turkish Government's decision to launch fresh raids by its armed forces into Northern Iraq against the Kurds; notes that Turkey has repeatedly undertaken such actions over the past few months despite angry criticism from most of the western world; reminds the Government that Turkey has applied for the approval of its application for a customs union with the European Union, a decision which the European Parliament has insisted should only receive ratification if Turkey shows greater respect for human rights in its country and better treatment for its large Kurdish minority; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to vote against such an arrangement until such time as the Turkish Government meets the criteria laid down by the European Parliament.
