Interview at politico.gr : “Turkey weaponized migration and now it weaponized trade. What else does it have to do for us to take action? We should suspend the customs union.”
“We are not going to trade with someone who blackmails us and boycotts us,” MEP Anna-Michelle Asimakopoulou said to politico. “Even if EU countries opposed a suspension, the EU could impose new tariffs against Turkey.”
MEP Asimakopoulou has called for a meeting of the trade committee to discuss Ankara’s alleged breaches of its trade commitments, such as a failure to adopt EU state aid rules and restrictions on EU pharmaceuticals.
