Turkey To Lift All Bureaucratic Hurdles Before Investors

STUTTGART - Turkey would lift all bureaucratic hurdles before investors, Turkish Industry and Trade Minister Ali Coskun said on Monday.
Coskun, who attended a meeting held as a part of ''Turkey-Baden-Wurttemberg Economy Days'' in Stuttgart, Germany, said that Turkey had adjusted many laws to European Union (EU) standards, reduced inflation rate, and increased growth rate.
Turkey had strategic importance, and it would be strengthened more after it became an EU member, Coskun noted.
Coskun hoped that the EU would set a date to open negotiations with Turkey in December.
Turkish Industry and Trade Minister Coskun said that Turkey would lay down attracting investment proposals, adding that whoever wanted to invest in Turkey could come and make it.
Coskun will open Turkish-German Business Center and return to Turkey on Tuesday.
