EU unmoved by Sarkozy win, eyes fresh talks with Turkey

Rehn dismissed concerns over the impact of Sarkozy’s victory, saying the decision to start talks with Turkey was taken unanimously. “If one or several member states want to change that negotiating mandate, then it is up to them to take the initiative and also take responsibility for possible consequences,” he said. He congratulated Sarkozy on his election win and added that it was not his task to speculate on whether the election result “is good or bad.” “I trust that France will stick to its commitments undertaken in the course of the EU accession process,” he added.
