The idea and the aim of the agenda was to keep the accession process of Turkey going not to replace it as expressed both by the two sides and in order to achieve this working groups containing experts from the Commission and their counterparts from Turkish ministries focusing on eight negotiation chapters namely on “Judicary and Fundamental Rights” and the others were established. So, in this paper the “positive agenda” between Turkey and the European Union will be examined and the future of this attempt will be discussed.
