Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9), thereof,

|
(4) |
Having satisfied the essential legal, structural and information technology requirements which are preconditions for accession, and following the formal procedure for accession, Turkey will accede to the Convention. |
