EU Reaches Deal With Turkey, Will Pay €3 Billion To Stem Refugee Outflow But Not Everyone Wants To Pay Up

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As previewed earlier today, moments ago the EU and Turkey reached a deal in which Europe would give Erdogan another €3 billion to be embezzled accordingly (perhaps to buy more tankers for Erdogan's son with which to ferry ISIS oil, or to build a new annex for his palace, or just to recycle the money and purchase even more F-16s from the US), in exchange for which Turkey would promise to close its borders to millions of outpouring Syrian refugees and agree to accept deported refugees already located in Europe.

Furthermore, as part of Turkey's long-running accession process into the EU, the republic where any journalist who disagrees with the president is promptly arrested, the European Commission has agreed to relax the visa requirements for Turkish citizens going into Schengen. Which is ironic considering Europe is selectively and actively putting up barriers to its own citizens within the customs union, and it remains to be seen if there even is a Schengen one year from now.

Meanwhile, the two Turkish journalists charged with “spying” over their reports about Ankara’s alleged arms supplies to Syrian rebels urged the EU on Saturday not to compromise on human rights and press freedom as it looks to Turkey to help stem Europe’s migrant crisis.

Writing from the Silivri prison near Istanbul, the opposition Cumhuriyet daily’s editor-in-chief Can Dundar and Ankara bureau chief Erdem Gul said they hoped the meeting would produce a lasting solution to the crisis “that has concerned and touched all our hearts.”

 

But they added: “We would also hope that your desire to end the crisis will not stand in the way of your sensitivity towards human rights, freedom of press and expression as fundamental values of the Western world.

 

“The Prime Minister of Turkey, whom you will meet this weekend, and the regime he represents are well known for policies and practices that have flouted human rights and freedom of the press,” they said.

 

The letter was addressed to EU leaders as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and the British Prime Minister David Cameron.

The letter and their pleas landed on deaf ears.

The terms of the deal are largely as we noted previously, with the European Union agreeing on a three-billion-euro ($3.2-billion) aid package for Syrian refugees in Turkey, EU president Donald Tusk said after a summit in Brussels on Sunday. "Our agreement sets out a clear plan for the timely re-establishment of order at our shared frontier. We will also step up our assistance to Syrian refugees in Turkey through a new refugee facility of three billion euros," Tusk told a press conference with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

Curiously, the EU appears to have steamrolled over at least some states' objections as seen in the following text released by the commission, in which it says that "the preparatory work for the opening of a number of chapters without prejudice to the position of Member States. "

Indeed as some noted after the presser, it was clear that at least one or more states were not too eager to "chip in":

More from AFP:

The EU also agreed to open a new chapter in Turkey's stalled bid for membership of the bloc in exchange for Turkey's cooperation in reducing the flow of refugees and migrants, Tusk said.

 

Visa requirements for Turkish citizens visiting the EU's passport-free Schengen area would also be relaxed by October 2016, he said. Brussels would "monitor closely at least once a month" the progress being made by Turkey, Tusk added.

 

Davutoglu said the deal would "re-energise" Turkey's EU accession process, which has made little headway since it started in 2005.

 

"This is a historic day and a historic meeting, the first meeting of this kind since 11 years," the Turkish premier added.

 

"No one can guarantee anything on the Syrian issue, we don't know what will go on in Syria, but I can assure that Turkey will be fulfilling all the promises of the joint plan. Our purpose with the EU is to prevent new waves of refugees from Syria and to manage the existing refugee crisis," he said.

 

"This three billion euros is to be spent for refugees in Turkey, it's not for Turkey."

Actually, the money will be embezzled within moments of being wired over by the country's unaccountable despotic ruler, and any Turkish journalist who points this out will be immediately branded a spy traitor and charged with treason.

The full European Commission statement is below:

Meeting of heads of state or government with Turkey - EU-Turkey statement, 29/11/2015Today the Leaders of the

  1. Today the Leaders of the European Union met in Brussels with their Turkish counterpart. Turkey has been a candidate since 1999 and negotiating for accession since 2005. 
  2. Turkey and the EU discussed the importance of overcoming the common challenges ahead. In line with the conclusions of the European Council of 15 October, they agreed that the accession process needs to be re-energized. They are committed to carry further their existing ties and solidarity and adopt result-oriented action to prepare their common future. They are determined to confront and surmount the existing risks and threats in a concerted manner to reinforce the European Project. Recalling the final declaration of the last G20 in Antalya, as well as the 2249 UNSC resolution, Turkey and the EU reaffirm that the fight against terrorism remains a priority.
  3. For this purpose it was agreed that a structured and more frequent high-level dialogue is essential to explore the vast potential of Turkey-EU relations, which has not been realised fully yet. In this framework, both sides agreed to have regular Summits twice a year, in an appropriate format. Regular summits will provide a platform to assess the development of Turkey-EU relations and discuss international issues. Regular discussions and cooperation on foreign and security policy should be enhanced including on counter-terrorism against the background of serious security challenges notably the rising threat of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. In this context, the two sides agreed to have comprehensive regular political dialogue meetings at Ministerial/High Representative/Commissioner level. These will be in addition to the regular Association Council meetings. High level dialogues should also be conducted on key thematic issues.
  4. Both sides welcomed the announcement to hold the Intergovernmental Conference on 14 December 2015 for opening of chapter 17. Furthermore, they noted the European Commission's commitment to complete, in the first quarter of 2016, the preparatory work for the opening of a number of chapters without prejudice to the position of Member States. Preparatory work could subsequently begin also on further chapters.
  5. The EU welcomed the commitment by Turkey to accelerate the fulfilment of the Visa Roadmap benchmarks vis-à-vis all participating Member States. The European Commission will present the second progress report on the implementation by Turkey of the visa liberalisation roadmap by early March 2016. Both sides agree that the EU-Turkey readmission agreement will become fully applicable from June 2016 in order for the Commission to be able to present its third progress report in autumn 2016 with a view to completing the visa liberalisation process i.e. the lifting of visa requirements for Turkish citizens in the Schengen zone by October 2016 once the requirements of the Roadmap are met.
  6. The EU will provide immediate and continuous humanitarian assistance in Turkey. It will also expand significantly its overall financial support. A Refugee Facility for Turkey was established by the Commission to coordinate and streamline actions financed in order to deliver efficient and complementary support to Syrians under temporary protection and host communities in Turkey. The EU is committed to provide an initial 3 billion euro of additional resources. The need for and nature of this funding will be reviewed in the light of the developing situation. As Turkey hosts more than 2.2 million Syrians and as it has spent 8 billion US Dollars, the EU thus underlined the importance of burden-sharing within the framework of Turkey-EU cooperation. In this context, they underlined the contribution by Member State and existing EU resettlement schemes and programmes.
  7. Turkey and the EU have decided to activate the Joint Action Plan that had been agreed until now ad referenda on 15 October 2015, to step up their cooperation for support of Syrians under temporary protection and migration management to address the crisis created by the situation in Syria. Results must be achieved in particular in stemming the influx of irregular migrants. The EU and Turkey agreed to implement the Joint Action Plan which will bring order into migratory flows and help to stem irregular migration.  As a consequence, both sides will, as agreed and with immediate effect, step up their active cooperation on migrants who are not in need of international protection, preventing travel to Turkey and the EU, ensuring the application of the established bilateral readmission provisions and swiftly returning migrants who are not in need of international protection to their countries of origin. Equally, they welcomed the intention of Turkey to adopt immediately measures to further improve the socio-economic situation of the Syrians under temporary protection. Both sides underlined their shared commitment to take decisive and swift action to enhance the fight against criminal smuggling networks.
  8. As stipulated in the European Council Conclusions on Enlargement of December 2014, Turkey and the EU have been working on the establishment of a High Level Economic Dialogue Mechanism which will contribute to further enhancement of economic relations and create a business platform to bring business circles together. They agreed to launch it in the first quarter of 2016.
  9. They welcomed the establishment of a High Level Energy Dialogue and Strategic Energy Cooperation, which had been launched in Ankara on 16 March 2015. A regular exchange of information on energy cooperation at the global and regional level  serves to the benefit of both sides. They agreed to hold the second meeting of this kind in the first quarter of 2016.
  10. They took note of the launching of preparatory steps for upgrading the Customs Union. After completion of this preparatory work by both sides, formal negotiations could be launched towards the end of 2016.
  11. All these elements will have to be taken forward in parallel and monitored closely. Turkey and the EU are determined to advance together the widespread spectrum of their actual agenda to ensure that this fresh impetus yields concrete results.

Notice how the Turkish premier commented that "No one can guaranteee anything on the Syrian issue....".  Translation:  We will take your 3 Billion Euros, your visa waiver and membership in the EU and do Jack Squat.  They EU negotiators make even John Kerry look formidable.  It is in someone's Master Plan to flood the EU with Muslims--that will happen one way or the other.  Admitting Turkey into the EU is the worst betrayal possible of European culture.

The EU has been implicated in receiving illegal KRG oil; the plan now: buy off three billion euros worth of something unaccountable (humans that never arrived) and hope that Turkey need not participate (i.e., cladestinely wind down your current export program) any further in their profitable trade of crude. It is time to slide and hide back into the dimness.

Nice to know that the EU and US pay for Israel and its Likud-voting Settlers getting more fancy RE on the Golan Heights & Beyond, and having them buffer-partolled by 'Moderate Al-Qaeda Rebels', instead of the UN Blue Helmets, who have quietly moved out. Per http://www.voltairenet.org/article189411.html

The Jihadists had kidnapped the UNO observers from the Philippines and Fiji charged with keeping an eye on the cease-fire line in occupied Golan. During negotiations for their release, the United Nations paid a ransom to Al-Qaïda which was then transferred to a bank account without provoking any international inquiry in order to identify the beneficiary. Finally, the Blue Helmets retreated, so that today, the Israeli and Syrian armies are separated not by the UNO, but by Al-Qaïda.

The enemy occupation of European countries is complete. The EU is a foreign agent acting in place of the USA, who in effect is an occupying power. The EU was founded as a power broker for US Corporations, Banks and Military Forces to detroy EU state's national rights to rule themselves, and hand that power to a USA proxy. The Brussels parliament is a front, each member is a bribed agent of corporations. Just like the US congress is.

National interests are no longer accounted, only the properity of the 1%, the corporations and Pentagon have any place. The USa and Turkey organized and unleashed the migrant waves as another attack on ethnic Europe, and nation states. The USA wants a quasi Muslim Europe, where no nation or ethnic group has any power at all. The USA will decided using it's proxy the EU.

When I hear Europeans praise the EU, I think how effective Western media really is in mind control.

"Trail of tears for 21st Century" with no equivalent!

The only thing that will fix this is for the EU government(s) uniting in the existential threat that is the United States in it's neighborhood(s)... Until and unless the Europeans throw the bum out after 70 years of this it will undoubtedly continue with more "Paris false flag terror" only far, far worse!

At some point you have to have the integrity to admit that you have been "in on it" and get rid of the source of the problem before it destroys you and "itself"!

We're living in truly remarkable times folks when governments can be this blatant in their actions to find a "final solution" to the problem they were a partner in creating!

do you know what the other hand is doing?

 

The Deregulation Bill, proposed by Tory privatiser Oliver Letwin, slipped into law at the end of the last Parliament. It can change all other law, according to criteria of ‘growth’ ie business interests. It fits perfectly with the EU’s deregulatory agenda, and that of TTIP and the other new ‘trade’ agreements, which have largely come out of the City of London via the UK government  anyway. 

Summary: The UK Deregulation Act has attracted little attention. However it is meta-regulation that enforces the prioritising of the interests of business to deregulate over the public interest in maintaining and developing social and environmental protections, across the UK legislative and regulatory spectrum. The UK Act mirrors the deregulatory agenda within the EU and in the EU’s ‘trade’ deals. This Act must be repealed by a future elected government.

With minimal public attention, the UK Deregulation Act (1), proposed by Oliver Letwin (2), came into law at the end of the last parliament, achieving Royal Assent, the final stage for becoming law, on 26th March 2015.

The Deregulation Act is meta-regulation which allows for all other legislation and regulations to be assessed on the criterion of how they affect ‘growth’, and, with the assent of parliament, to be changed in relation to this criterion. This means that business interests will be above social and environmental protections, in law-making.

This UK Deregulation Bill fits into a continuum with the deregulatory trajectory of the international trade deals, like TTIP (3), that the European Commission is currently negotiating on our behalf and also with the current deregulatory agenda of the EU via its ‘Better Regulation’ program at EU level and its REFIT program for the whole of the EU.

These initiatives have come very much from the UK, on behalf of the City of London.

While a deregulatory agenda is officially denied at the EU and at the international trade agreement levels, even though it can clearly be identified. However, there appears to be no problem with calling the UK legislation the ‘Deregulation Act’.

Under the UK Act, the effect on ‘growth‘ is the criterion against which all existing and new legislation and regulation will be assessed, and the Act requires regulators to take primary account of this.

In TTIP, the supra-national Regulatory Cooperation Body, which will be set In the US/EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment (TTIP), as an example of a major ‘new generation ‘ so-called ‘trade agreement , the criterion against which all legislation and regulation will be assessed is ‘trade promoting’. As an on-going, ‘living agreement’, which means the effects of TTIP will continue to develop after the deal is signed-up, TTIP will have a supra-national Regulatory Co-operation Body. With big business at the table, this RCB will scrutinise all new legislation/regulation primarily against the criterion of how it affects international trade. Other aims such as protection of the environment, of health and safety, labour protections and social justice aims will be subordinated to this.

So, under TTIP and other international ‘trade agreements’, any proposed law or regulations that do not prioritise the interests of transnational business will be unlikely to ever progress beyond the earliest stages.

The UK Deregulation Act, using the language of ‘growth’, is designed to operate similarly, putting the onus on regulators to prioritise what big business wants from regulation, that is deregulation, generally, to increase profits, above the public interest, thus curtaining progressive law-making and democracy.

The Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is already holding staff workshops on implementing a policy of prioritising deregulation (4).

The official summary of the Deregulation Act is that it ‘make(s) provision for the reduction of burdens resulting from legislation for businesses or other organisations or for individuals; make(s) provision for the repeal of legislation which no longer has practical use; make provision about the exercise of regulatory functions; and for connected purposes’.

In the same way that we are resisting the corporate benefit trade agreements such as TTIP, we need to be making the connections with the EU deregulatory agenda, and with this insidious UK Act through which much of our achieved legal protections can be undermined, bringing it out of the shadows, and The UK Deregulation Bill must be repealed by any government that we vote in.

Key parts of the Deregulation Act text (highlighting added):

Section 108 Exercise of regulatory functions: economic growth
(1) A person exercising a regulatory function to which this section applies must, in the exercise of the function, have regard to the desirability of promoting economic growth.
(2) In performing the duty under subsection (1), the person must, in particular, consider the importance for the promotion of economic growth of exercising the regulatory function in a way which ensures that—
(a) regulatory action is taken only when it is needed, and
(b) any action taken is proportionate.

Extract from Section 110 Guidance on duty under section 108
(1)A Minister of the Crown may from time to time issue guidance as to the performance of the duty under section 108(1).
(2) The guidance may include guidance—
(a) as to the ways in which regulatory functions may be exercised so as to promote economic growth;
(b) as to how persons who have the duty may demonstrate, in a way that is transparent and accountable, that they are complying with it.
(3) A person who has a duty under section 108(1) must have regard to any guidance issued under subsection (1).

Extract from Section 112 Consequential amendments, repeals and revocations
(1)The Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument ….
(2) An order under subsection (1)—
(a) may include transitional, transitory or saving provision;
(b) may repeal, revoke or otherwise amend or modify any provision of primary or subordinate legislation (including legislation passed or made in the same Session as this Act).make such provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate in consequence of this Act.

111 Sections 108 to 110: Interpretation shows the breadth of the application of the Act, that it applies to any regulating of any activity involving ‘providing goods and services, and …employing or offering employment to a person’.
Other parts of the Act that deserve attention include: 100 Repeal of duty to prepare sustainable community strategy; 103 Repeal of duties relating to consultation or involvement.

Most "Eurans" don't accept it but......the EU has already voluntarily given up their national sovereignty and submitted to Islam, it's done already.

There is nothing to fix, the EU isn't a nation or state it's a tax zone where the taxees have no control over the taxes or tax collections.

Tax collections have been delegated to zionists-worldwide.
