EU’s failure saddens Olli Rehn
European Union's Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn recently expressed his feelings of “embarrassment” due to the failure of the European Commission keeping its pledges to the Turkish Cypriots for easing their international isolation, according to a Turkish media report.
Rehn expressed his feelings on Wednesday in Brussels during a meeting with a delegation from Turkey's influential business association, the Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen's Association (TÜSİAD), reported CNN-Türk yesterday.
Rehn told the Turkish delegation that the commission did its best in an effort to ease the isolation. “We're expecting a constructive manner from the European Council on the same issue,” he emphasized, according to CNN-Türk.
The TÜSİAD delegation led by Chairman Ömer Sabancı held talks with both Rehn and European Commission President José Manuel Barroso with whom they discussed the Cyprus issue and Turkey's EU negotiation process.
