The Directorate for EU Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established on July 4, 2000, in charge of the coordination of activities regarding Türkiye’s full membership process to the European Union. The Directorate for EU Affairs, which is the main institution responsible for carrying out Türkiye’s accession process to the EU, is in charge of directing, monitoring and coordinating post-membership studies for Türkiye’s preparation for EU membership.
Since its establishment, the Directorate for EU Affairs has been responsible for carrying out reform efforts that will carry our country to the EU membership, ensuring harmonization with the EU acquis, as well as the coordination of programming and monitoring of Türkiye-EU Financial Cooperation. Our Directorate uninterruptedly continues the communication and information activities carried out within the scope of the EU Communication Strategy to inform the public opinion of our country and other European countries about the works carried out in this process.
