While saying it could accept temporary measures to restrict the movements of Turks to the EU, Ankara has voiced opposition to any attempts to make such restrictions permanent, arguing that doing so would constitute a breach of Brussels' promise to treat Turkey's entry bid in the same way as those of other candidate countries.
Iako je istaknula kako bi mogla prihvatiti privremene mjere za ograničavanje kretanja Turaka u EU, Ankara je izrazila protivljenje bilo kakvim pokušajima da se takva ograničenja učine trajnim, ukazujući kako bi se time prekršilo obećanje Brusselsa o jednakom tretmanu kandidature Turske u odnosu na kandidature drugih zemalja.
