Chairperson of the CDU Angela Merkel stated that the negative outcome of the referendum in France over the passing of the European Constitution confirms that the opinion of the CDU over Turkey’s accession to the EU is correct, reported the Yerkir newspaper referring to Zaman Turkish edition. In her wards, CDU/CSU parties should reconsider their opinion over the talks on Turkey’s accession to the EU. In his turn, Saarland Prime Minister Peter Muller noted that the French «no» to the Constitution casts doubt on the EU enlargement. He also emphasized that after the latest expansion the EU needs rest and, like the Turkish case, the questions of accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the EU should be reconsidered. On the other hand, German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer noted that in spite of the negative response of the French to the European Constitution, he respects their decision. He noted at the same time that it would create difficulties for the EU.
