But this attitude is irresponsible. The EU is about to commit a grave strategic error by allowing its report this autumn to be guided by the short-sighted domestic policy considerations of some of its important member states.
欧盟的某些人——主要在法国、德国和奥地利——似乎对这个问题上可能发生的冲突幸灾乐祸，认为这样会促使土耳其放弃对加入欧盟的追求。但是这样的态度是不负责任的。欧盟如果任由某些重要成员国短视的国内政策想法主导今秋的报告，就会犯下一个严重的战略性错误。
