European Council: 14 December 2007

My Lords, I confirm that the decision on Kosovo was made unanimously by all 27 member states. It will include all the territory, including in the north. The noble Lord asked about Turkey. As he knows, ongoing dialogues take place on different aspects of policy that Turkey needs to pursue in order to be considered firmly for membership. I do not have the details to hand on exactly how that was taken forward. I would imagine it was a more general discussion, looking at general progress. If there are further details to give, I shall happily give those to the noble Lord.
