Nacrt je usvojen neka dva mjeseca nakon što je stavljen na dnevni red parlamenta i dan nakon što je u srijedu objavljen redovni izvještaj Evropske komisije (EK) o napretku Turske u pristupanju EU.
The bill was passed about two months after it was put on the parliament's agenda and a day after the release Wednesday of the European Commission's (EC) regular report on Turkey's EU accession progress.
