Abstract :Turkey has be en an associate member of the EV sinee i963. The Ankara Agreement of 19631 regulates cconomie, social and financial mallers. In the preamble, it is stated that the agreement seeks to bring about 'ever closer bonds between the Turkish pcople and the pcople brought together in the European Economic Community'. It was believed that social and cultural integration between their people could best be achieved through the movement of peoplcs across national boundaries. This, the parties sought to achieve through the gradual introduction of 'freedom of movement for workers, professionals and entrepreneurs' (Articles 12 to 14 of the Ankara Agreement) Since the international mavement of labour involves far greater number of individuals, it is this aspect of social integration whieh deserves particular attention.
