Turkey to rush more reforms through in run-up to key EU decision

ANKARA (AFX) - Turkey said it will rush through parliament several more reforms demanded by the European Union ahead of a crucial Dec 17 decision on its membership bid

A statement issued after a meeting between Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, Justice Minister Cemil Cicek and Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu said the three had agreed that five bills related to justice and civic organizations should be "urgently" enacted

The proposed legislation aims to remove legal snags that hamper the functioning of associations and non-Muslim religious foundations, establish a judicial police and amend criminal procedures and rules related to the execution of punishments

The planned reforms were mentioned as outstanding issues in an Oct 6 report by the European Commission, which recommended the opening of accession talks with Turkey

The statement also pledged that the authorities would continue "to efficiently enforce" measures to stamp out torture and mistreatment of detainees and punish security forces found guilty of such crimes

EU leaders will decide at a summit on Dec 17 whether to start membership negotiations with Turkey, a candidate for accession since 1999

Turkey wants the talks to begin in the first months of 2005
