"Turkey’s Membership Application: Implications for the EU". Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series. Vol. 5 No. 26. August 2005 - "The size of the Turkish market. Turkey’s 70 million – and rapidly growing – population means that it is a large market. Currently, it is the EU’s sixth largest trading partner.

Amongst these barriers are a largely closed financial services sector and a distinctive framework of corporate law and structures."
