英国首相卡梅伦：按现在的进度，土尔其也许能在公元3000年加入欧盟

 

Turkey on course to join EU in year 3000，insists David Cameron

Turkey is on course to join the European Union in the year 3000 on its current rate of progress, David Cameron said, as he launched a brutal attack one of his own ministers.

 

The Prime Minister attacked Penny Mordaunt's claims that Britain had no veto over Turkish accession to the 28-member bloc as "misleading" and "absolutely wrong".

 

Turkey is set to join the EU in the next eight years and the UK will be unable to block the move, the Armed Forces Minister had insisted.

 

But Mr Cameron told ITV's Peston on Sunday: "The Leave campaign are making a very misleading claim."

 

Asked if Ms Mordaunt had been wrong to say Britain would not be able to veto its membership, he replied: "Absolutely wrong. Let me be clear, Britain and every other country in the European Union has a veto on another country joining. That is a fact, and the fact that the Leave campaign are getting things as straightforward as this wrong should call in to question their whole judgment in making the bigger argument about leaving the EU."

 

Pressed on whether she was qualified to remain in government, the prime minister told the programme: "Her responsibilities are in the Ministry of Defence, she is doing a very good job.

 

"But on this question of whether of not we have a veto, the Leave campaign are wrong."

 

Mr Cameron added: "It is not remotely on the cards that Turkey is going to join the EU any time soon. They applied in 1987. At the current rate of progress they will probably get round to joining in about the year 3000 according to the latest forecasts."

 

 

 

（中央社伦敦22日专电）英国将于6月23日举行欧盟公投，争论逐渐升温，移民与经济议题，成为赞成留欧与脱欧两方的激辩主轴。

 

英国首相卡梅伦警告，如果离开欧盟，英国家庭的经济负担将增加，赞成脱欧阵营则说，土耳其等5国未来加入欧盟，可能造成犯罪率升高，英国不宜再留在欧盟。

 

卡麦隆指出，如果英国离开欧盟，每个家庭的食品采购费用将增加3%，每年约需多付120英镑，服饰的价格增加5%，薪资的成长率将趋缓，请选民深思，“脱欧值得吗？”卡麦隆同时警告，如果英国离开欧盟，英镑汇价将暴跌12%，通货膨胀率大涨。

 

包括英国最大连锁超市特易购（Tesco）、圣斯伯利（Sainsbury’s）、玛莎百货（Marks & Spencer）及特力屋（B&Q）等零售商的前执行长也联名发表文章警告，脱欧将对英国经济造成灾难性的影响，不仅物价上涨，通膨率升，就业机会丧失，英镑汇价也会走贬。

 

不过支持脱欧的一群经济学家指出，离开欧盟将可以让英国的经济10年内成长4%，同时没有欧盟关税，英国的物价将下跌8%。

 

脱欧阵营代表团体Vote Leave今天指出，未来包括土耳其、阿尔巴尼亚、塞尔维亚、马其顿及黑山成为欧盟正式会员后，将造成大量非法枪支流入欧盟，许多罪犯将进入英国，造成治安败坏，犯罪率升高。

 

Vote Leave同时指出，土耳其入欧盟后每年约有14万2000名土耳其公民进入英国，2014年土耳其的出生率每1000人为17.4%，英国为12.1%，土耳其移民一旦进入英国，未来10年英国国家医疗保健服务（NHS）为孕妇提供的医疗服务将花费4亿英镑。

 

国防部官员指出，移民危机将可能加速土耳其加入欧盟，这是迟早会发生的事，只是时间的问题，公投是英国表达对土耳其应否加入欧盟的唯一机会。对此，卡麦隆表示，未来英国可以投票否决其它国家加入欧盟，而且土耳其如果要加入欧盟，要花上数十年的时间。
