Turkey began entry talks with the Union in October 2005, but the process has stalled for various reasons and several member states remain opposed to the country ever being admitted as a full-fledged member.
Iako je Turska pregovore o pridruživanju s Unijom započela u listopadu 2005. godine, proces je zastao zbog raznih razloga, a nekoliko zemalja članica i dalje se protivi tome da se tu državu ikada primi u punopravno članstvo.
