    The Spanish Presidency would like to open new chapters in accession negotiations with Turkey to the EU, said Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, who chaired the EU-Turkey Association Council on Monday in Brussels, pointing out at the same time that Ankara must also make the relevant efforts.

    ``The Spanish Presidency believes that we must continue the negotiation process with determination and move towards the opening of new chapters,`` Moratinos said at a press conference after the Council in which it reiterated that Spain will continue efforts to ensure compliance with the commitment to the full integration of Turkey into the EU.

    Moratinos said he could not specify how many chapters he expects to open during the Spanish term, which ends June 30, but he assured that internal efforts are being made in the EU and that the Presidency is doing ``additional work in those chapters that have more political elements.``
