Abstract
VI SUMMARY Economic entegration movement has been realized naturaly in the world scale as a result of adopting liberal policies and gold-money system till the World War-I. After the World War-I I., with the politic and economic effects of the war, came economic entegration tendecies out in the world and regional level. One of the most important results of regional entegration tendecies is setting up EC. In the circle, Turkey had given preference to develop if s relations with the European Community (EC) aiming the exact membership of the Community. Thus, for being an exact member of EC, Turkey applied in 14 April 1987, but EC has stated that it wouldn't be suitable to investigate the application before 1993. On the other hand, the Community made it's last widenness including Greece in early 1981 and Spain and Portugal in early 1986.

Then, there is no a definit limit for being economicly developed to be accepted to the Community. If so, the condidate country should be developed economicly as much as these conutries.

This is a negative factor for Turkey in it's application to the community. Moreover, some other factors had come out while Turkey applied to the EC have effected the exact membership of Turkey negatively. These are: Politic factors have realised in Turkey, the exact membership applications of some other countries (such as Cyprus, Malta, Austria, Switzerland), the mono-market procces of the Community, the problems have taken place because of last wideness and the recent changes in the Eastern Block Countries...
