If
I get this right the midnight deal struck in Brussels means the EU and
Turkey have agreed:
- to return all new irregular migrants crossing from Turkey into the Greek islands with the costs covered by the EU, i.e., you and me.
- to accelerate the implementation of the visa liberalisation roadmap with a view to lifting visa requirements for Turkish citizens at the latest by the end of June 2016.
- the opening of new chapters in the accession negotiations as soon as possible.
So
the EU taxpayer is giving Turkey an initial €3 billion in exchange for
taking back Syrian migrants, possibly followed by another €3 billion of
taxpayers money.
Then we will
lift the visa requirements for Turks entering the EU within three months
and will open talks to let Turkey join the EU as soon as possible.
Are
we insane?
