on nurses. The regulation laying down minimum training conditions for regulated professions
subject to automatic recognition was amended. However, recognition of professional
qualifications is still not differentiated from recognition of academic qualifications. Some
regulated professions are still subject to reciprocal recognition. Nationality and language
requirements remain.
‘The right of establishment and freedom to provide services’ is one of the eight chapters
covered by the conclusions on Turkey adopted by the Council (General Affairs and External
Relations) on 11 December 2006 and endorsed by the European Council on 14/15 December
2006. As long as restrictions remain in place on the free movement of goods carried by
vessels and aircraft registered in Cyprus or whose last port of call was in Cyprus, Turkey will
not be in a position to implement fully the acquis relating to this chapter.
Conclusion
Alignment under this chapter is, overall, at an early stage. No progress can be reported in the
areas of right of establishment, freedom to provide cross border services, and postal services.
There has been very limited progress regarding mutual recognition of professional
qualifications.
4.4. Chapter 4: Free movement of capital
There has been no progress in capital movements and payments over the reporting period.
Turkey has yet to make significant progress on alignment of its legislation with the acquis.
The legislative framework regulating real-estate acquisition by foreigners remains
inconsistent with Article 63 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Turkey
still needs to propose an action plan for gradual liberalisation of acquisition of real estate by
foreigners in line with the acquis and to demonstrate that it is making progress towards
gradual liberalisation, which is a key element for the accession negotiations in this chapter.
There has been no progress on removing remaining restrictions on foreign direct investments
originating from the EU, a priority in this area. Sectoral restrictions remain in place, for
example on energy, transport, education and radio and TV broadcasting. A draft law raising
the limit on foreign participation in the above-mentioned areas is before parliament. Turkey’s
overall level of preparedness in the area of capital movements and payments is limited.
No progress can be reported on further alignment of Turkey’s payment systems legislation
with the acquis. The Central Bank revised its communiqué on use of the IBAN (international
bank account number) in bank transfers, making its use in practice optional if the recipient’s
IBAN is unknown. Adoption of a new payment systems law in line with the acquis is
pending. The overall level of preparedness in payment systems remained incomplete.
Progress has been made on alignment with the acquis on the fight against money
laundering. A number of regulations have been adopted to implement the 2006 Law on the
prevention of laundering proceeds of crime and the 2008 action plan, which is a key element
for the accession negotiations in this chapter. A regulation introduced detailed provisions on
customer identification, including real persons, legal persons and entities and electronic
transfers. Another regulation adopted allows obliged parties to take simplified measures in
terms of customer due diligence. The Ministry of Finance is authorised to decide
implementing measures and the types of transactions falling within the scope of this
regulation.
