     :: AEGEE-Europe's Statement on Turkey's accession to the EU::   
      AEGEE, European Students' Forum, calls the Council of the European Union to open up accession negotiations with Turkey for its EU membership without any delay! Based on the EC report and the will of AEGEE network, we believe that during the summit on 17th of December a starting date for accession negotiations should be given!
      We believe, the richness of cultures and ideas in Europe is an incentive for a better future of our continent. 

      "The time to say YES is now, the time to say YES has come."
      (Pat Cox)

     :: AEGEE observes the upcoming elections::  
      AEGEE members from throughout Europe will travel to Ukraine for the final days of the election, including the voting. They will unobtrusively observe and record the conduct of the elections in a chosen region, announce their activities to the Ukrainian and international media, and report on their findings to AEGEE-Europe as well as to OSCE. 

      The organisation does not support either candidate in the election, but rather takes a friendly interest, supporting the Ukrainian people in their wish for free and fair elections.

     :: Let's build Ukrainian democracy together ::  
      At least 20 AEGEE members (from Western and Central Europe) will be sent to Ukraine to watch the presidential elections, that will take place on 26th December 2004. The AEGEE's observers will focus on observance of democratic procedures toward facilitating the Ukrainian electorate's free choice when the voters go to the polls. It is not the election's returns or outcome that matters, rather, this is a democratic and transparent procedure to enable the Ukrainian voters to express their will.
