poverty remains to be established. The administrative capacity for effective implementation of
the acquis in the field of social policy and employment needs to be strengthened.
4.20. Chapter 20: Enterprise and industrial policy
Turkey made further progress with regard to enterprise and industrial policy principles.
Turkey finalised a revised draft industrial strategy document and action plan covering the
period 2010-2013, which now is awaiting adoption.
The Coordination Council for improvement of the investment environment (YOIKK) adopted
an action plan for 2010. Efforts are continuing to systematically monitor and evaluate
strategies and action plans that have been adopted, through e.g. the quarterly reports issued on
the YOIKK action plans and the assessment of the SME strategy and action plan. A mediumterm
economic programme was announced for 2010-2012 covering areas related to industrial
policy. . A new evaluation board for the export-oriented production strategy was established
on 12 March 2010, bringing together the ministries, related public organisations and the
private sector. Turkey has joined the Small Business Act implementation process together
with the Western Balkan countries.
Some progress was made with respect to enterprise and industrial policy instruments. New
loan programmes including a credit guarantee scheme were extended by the Small and
Medium-sized Industry Development Organisation (KOSGEB) following the adoption of new
pieces of legislation on the management of KOSGEB funds, in particular on sectoral and
regional priorities. KOSGEB signed a protocol with the Development Agencies and the State
Planning Organisation in order to establish joint support programmes for SMEs. Business
incubation centres were established in five regions. Most of the activities scheduled under the
SME action plan have been completed. R&D spending continued to increase while the share
of the private sector greatly surpassed that of the public sector. The participation of Turkey in
the EU Entrepreneurship and Innovation programme, and in particular in the Enterprise
Europe Network, is a positive development. No progress can be noted towards completing
alignment with EU Directive 2000/35 on combating late payments in commercial
transactions.
Some progress has been made in sector policies. The Ministry of Industry and Trade prepared
a strategy and action plan on tradesmen and craftsmen including measures such as improving
access to finance, support for clustering, entrepreneurship, innovation and university
cooperation. Roadmaps were prepared for the chemicals, iron and steel and automotive
sectors. No further developments can be reported in the national restructuring programme for
the Turkish steel industry following the revision made last year. Formal verification of the
steel industry restructuring programme by the state aid monitoring authority is called for once
that authority is established.
Conclusion
Turkey has made further progress in this chapter, in terms of finalisation of the industrial
strategy and action plan covering the period 2010-2013, wider availability of enterprise and
industrial policy instruments and adoption of sectoral strategies and roadmaps. Some limited
improvements can be reported in the business environment and in terms of continued
monitoring and evaluation efforts. Overall, Turkey maintains a sufficient level of alignment
with the acquis in the field of enterprise and industrial policy.
