Abstract

The Court of Justice's case-law on the interpretation of the European Union (EU) law provisions concerning Turkish nationals is quite rarely thoroughly analysed by the legal literature, save probably in Germany. To conclude that Turkish nationals enjoy a privileged treatment, one has to determine the exact nature of their treatment by the Court of Justice. The existence of a preferential treatment is to be demonstrated by a comparison with the treatment of other third country nationals by the Court of Justice. The recent jurisprudence seems sometimes to completely blur the distinction between Turkish nationals and EU citizens; that recent case-law must be analysed to verify whether the statement made by Advocate General Darmon in Kus , according to whom Turkish workers are in an 'intermediate situation', is still valid today or whether, in the Court's own words, they should be granted 'so far as possible', rights enjoyed by EU workers. Keywords: Court of Justice; European Union (EU); Germany; privileged treatment; Turkish nationals
