the EU-Turkey Customs Union, including the update of Annex II to Decision 2/97, and to
abolish the remaining import and export licences and the restrictions on imports of used
products, in particular motor vehicles.
4.2. Chapter 2: Freedom of movement for workers
With regard to access to the labour market, Turkey amended the Law on work permits for
foreigners, introducing the possibility of preliminary permits for up to one year for foreigners
providing ‘professional services’. The Regulation on enforcement of the Law on employment
of foreigners was also amended. The new regulation explicitly mentions that foreign experts
employed in projects under financial cooperation programmes between Turkey and the EU
are not required to obtain a work permit during their assignment. However, a comprehensive
reform of the Law on work permits for foreigners has been pending in parliament since 2007.
Regarding Turkey's participation into EURES (European Employment Services), the IT
infrastructure, electronic services and staff capacity of the Turkish Employment Agency
(ISKUR) need improvement.
The social security institution continued to receive expertise and training to improve its
capacity for coordination of social security systems.
There were no developments as regards the European health insurance card.
Conclusion
There has been little progress on freedom of movement for workers. Alignment is at an early
stage.
4.3. Chapter 3: Right of establishment and freedom to provide services
There has been limited progress on the right of establishment and freedom to provide services.
Work on the preparation of the detailed strategy related to alignment with the acquis is
ongoing.
As regards the right of establishment, disproportionate requirements are still in place.
There has been no progress in the area of freedom to provide cross-border services.
Registration, licence or authorisation requirements incompatible with the acquis still exist.
Service-providers already established in an EU Member State are subject to such
requirements before they can obtain work and residence permits. No legislative or regulatory
steps have been taken to align with the Services Directive. An amending regulation regarding
professional tourist guides, as well as chamber of commerce regulations on agricultural and
shipping engineers, confirmed the nationality requirements imposed, which are not in line
with the acquis. A systematic structure for identifying obstacles to exercise freedom to
provide cross border services has not yet been set up. The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the
coordinating body for implementing the Service Directive, started working on establishing a
Point of Single Contact for the provision of services.
No progress can be reported on postal services. The draft postal law has not yet been
adopted. The accounting system still lacks transparency. The legal monopoly remains in place
and an independent regulatory authority has not yet been established.
Little progress can be reported on mutual recognition of professional qualifications. A
decision of the Constitutional Court annulled the remaining references to women in the Law
