As many within the EU are still sceptic as Turkey bids for membership, a move that if accepted would stretch Europe's borders as far Iran and Syria. EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said this week that the bloc should have an open debate on Turkey.
The PM told reporters that Turkey would not be renegotiating anything. Adding that, "If you impose new things on countries from one day to the next, especially at a time when negotiations are about to start, that would not be right. We are used to honest politics, that's what we expect and want."
