The two main conditions the country was asked to fulfil ahead of the negotiations were to bring into force six remaining pieces of legislation -- which Ankara did on 1 June -- and to sign a protocol extending its customs agreement with the Union to the 10 new EU member states.
Dva glavna uslova koji se postavljaju pred Tursku pre početka pregovora jesu da obezbedi stupanje na snagu poslednjih šest zakona -- što je Ankara ispunila 1. juna -- i da potpiše protokol kojim se carinski ugovor sa Unijom proširuje na deset novih članica EU.
