France To Let Turkey EU Talks Continue For Now

France does not plan to stop the European Union from opening new policy "chapters" in Turkey's accession talks next month despite President Nicolas Sarkozy's opposition to Turkish membership, an official said on Tuesday. A presidential official said Sarkozy had other priorities that he wanted to tackle first within the European Union before confronting the issue of Turkey. Sarkozy indicated on Monday that he did not want to get into an immediate fight with EU partners over Turkey and preferred to focus initially on finding a deal on institutional reform and on discussing economic governance within the euro zone.
