France and Germany want deadline for TurkeyBBC: The EU's Enlargement Commissioner, Olli Rehn, has urged Germany and France not to step up the pressure on Turkey over its membership bid.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has suggested an 18-month deadline for Turkey to open its ports to traffic from Cyprus to keep its bid alive.
She and French President Jacques Chirac are expected to discuss it on Tuesday.
But Mr Rehn protested, telling Reuters news agency that "strict deadlines do not produce results". EU attacks Turkey deadline plan
