ene ‘TOD Erdogan praised friendship and fruitful meeting of 5 October. A lot of good progress since on migration and counter-terrorism etc. But still the BU hasn't opened a single chapter. Not 15, 17, 23, 24, 25 of 31. Weare lagging behind, What can be done? ‘Tusk thanked for an excellent G20 Summit. It had been extraordinary. We have had good EU-TU progress and agree on working on migration crisis and re-energising accession talks. Important that ‘we agree the AP, I need to have 28 MS behind me, Ready to call a Summit om'29 November. But need to settle AP beforehand. Juncker underlined good progeess, but that all these elements - migration, accession, visas etc ~ must be scen as a package. Basically 28 MS agree on the AP. Need to change ad referendum into ait ‘agreement as soon as possible. we need to prepare a summit declaration with the 28 and Turkey, still this week, A few MS need to be convinced. On chapters, the Commission will proposc to open some as soon as possible. Chapter 17 will happen. For the rest we will some good gesture to Cypmis ‘Tusk underlined the importance of making the Summit successful. And for that we need maximum clarity. For example, we have spoken about 3 bn euro aver two years, but I have just learned that Davutoglu want 3bn per year. (The Foreign Minister breaks in and shows Juneker an internal Commission paper that states 3bm per year.) Juncker noted the Commission had 500 mn euro ready and will ask MS-to pay the rest. Proposal next Tuesday for College decision next Wednesdav Erdogan asked whether the proposal would be for 3 bn or 6bn, When Juncker confirmed the 3bn, Erdogan Said that Turkey didn't need the EU's money anyway. “We can open the doors to Greece and Bulgaria anytime and we can put the refugees on buses*. If you say 3bn for two years, no need ‘0 disetss further. Greece got more than 400 ba euro during euro crisis. We should have invested Some or that moncy into a safe zone in Syria, which would have solved all problems with refugees Juncker noted that the Commission had never received a formal request for money from Turkey. Moreover, when you say that you have spent 8hn curo on refugees, that’s during four years, and Erdogan interrupts saying that this money was only what had been spent on camps, We have a humanitarian approach. My daughters visited refugees in the south and camé home erying over their situation. Gutteres said he had never seen better camps than in Turkey Tusk noted that he had visited one of the camps and could testify that they were indeed impressive. But Greece bail-out was not about Greece only, but about the Euro; $0 for all Euro Zone members One cannot compare these amounts easily. Erdogan interrupts, saying this is about Schengen, again a European project. ‘Tusk noted the difficult situation in the EU rightnow. Some MS were ready to close down ‘Schengen, especially after Paris. If we cannot show that we have a deal soon, aramatic. And we really want a.deal with you. Erdogan asks rhetorically: "So how will you deal with refugees if you don't get a deal? Kill the refugees” ‘Tusk says that the EU can make itself less altractive to refugees, but that's not the solution we want. ‘Erdogan says that the BU will be Confronted with more than a dead boy on the shores of Turkey, ‘There will be 10,000 or 15.000. How will you deal with that? The attacks in Paris is all about poverty and exclusion. These people are uneducated, but ‘We are fighting Da'esh, PYD and everyone. continue to be terrorists in Europe. Juncker says that if Schengen is gone, then Turkey can have no visa-frec deal with the EU. Will have to go bilateral. Turkey holds the key, but if we fail to honour the 5 October deal. we'll have to ook for other solutions. Please note that we postponed the progress report until after the Turkish elections. And we got criticised for this delay. When it comes to money, Donald and cannot continue changing figures; we need clarity. Within two weeks. We have agreed to open new enapters Erdogan says that the delay of the progress report did not help AKP to win the elections, Anyway, the report was an insult. Who prepared this report? How can you come up with this? It’s not the real Turkey, You never came to me to hear the truth, Most Turks don't want to become members of the EU because of reports like that. Again, no chapters have been opened yet, despite our good, progress, We used to be at EU Summits, but since 11 years you don't want to be seen with us. And for five years there have been no openings of chapters. Juncker sais that the delay of the progress report was done on Erdogan's request. Why else would we be willing to get criticised for it? I thought you want to be reconciled with the EU, Now I fee! deceived, because we have really risen to the challenge, European Conferences were de-continucd in 2004, but I believe it is time to reconsider tis, Erdogan asks Juncker to name one delivery, one delivery, so far? Juncker notes that resources are being amassed, that there is readiness to move on accession, that visa liberalisation will be sped tipe while noting that these decisions are not easy for the EU to take. Erdogan insists that the EU hasn't done anything for Turkey, The money is refugees, not Turkey. Moreover, you are using out pre-accession money. I's really nothing. No chapters at all. We have waited for $3 years. You hayeibeen mackine us Juncker intericets that during these 53 years, Turkey hasn't always been a democracy for example, Erdogan Says that neither were Germany and the UK, which lead to a great war. Nor Greece. Portugal, Spaifieic. And-Juncker shouldn't compare Turkey with Luxembourg, "Luxembourg is just like a town in Turkey". Juncker comes back to the need to have a deal done in 15 days. We are working hard and we have tieated you as a prince in Brusseis Erdogan says “like a prince? Of course, I'm not representing a third world country” Juncker notes that the EU never has 28+] Summits, but for Turkey we are ready Erdogan says "Of course, I would have done the same. But don't smear itin my face”. (Turning to PEC) “I represent 80 mn people, Talk like that from Juncker is disrespectful”, We talk about chapters, but nothing. The EU doesn't want to have Turkey in the EU I think. But then tell us clearly. That would be a relief, And Juncker thinks his report won the elections?... You just want us to keep all the refugees. Tusk underfines the need to be pragmatic, By 29 November we need an agreement. We cannot have this type of discussion then. Regarding money, Germany alone has spent some 6 bn euro on refugees only this year. And the EU is spending some S0bn curo all together on refugees, We need to be fair to cach other. We are.all doing a lot. Need to stop this back-and-forth and be productive. Therefore, I plea to make progress. On Friday/Saturday Iwill have to make a decisiomon whether to hold a Summit of not. I is not easy to convince MS of the need to pay others for refugees, given the big domestic costs. I'm not trying to cheat, but you have to recognise that the EU is complicated. We need all 28 on board. We need a decision on the AP before Saturday. ‘good faith, No consensus yet, but we are close. But 3 bn euro is an insult, And we also need to speak about [re- FM says that “Timmermans can come anytime. We have worked well with bi settlement] quotas. Merkel spoke about tuming illegal migration into legal migration, but hasn't given us any numbers, Let Timmermans come: if we agree we have a Summit, if not we don't. Juncker confirms his readiness to send Timmermans again. The meeting ends,
