HC Deb 03 July 2003 vol 408 c454W
Mr. Dismore

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) what representations he has made to the EU concerning the adoption of Turkish as an official EU language; and if he will make a statement; [R] [123207]

(2) whether Turkish will be an official language of the EU after Turkey accedes to the EU; and if he will make a statement. [R] [123208]

Mr. MacShane

The UK strongly supports Turkey's EU candidacy. Whether Turkish would become an official language of the EU after Turkey's accession would depend on the terms under which Turkey acceded.
