During the drafting process by the Foreign Affairs Committee, the EPP group agreed to withdraw an amendment calling on EU institutions to "study the possibility" of establishing a "privileged partnership" with Turkey, as an alternative to full EU membership.
To laikā EPP grupa piekrita atsaukt papildinājuma punktu, kas aicināja ES institūcijas "izvērtēt iespēju" izveidot Turcijai "priviliģētu partnerattiecību" statusu kā alternatīvu ES pilnai dalībai.
