The Court of Justice of the European Communities decided that Turkish nationals who want to travel to Europe for business purposes do not require visas to enter a member state of the European Union.
The court said in its ruling: "Article 41(1) of the Additional Protocol, which was signed on Nov. 23, 1970 at Brussels and concluded, approved and confirmed on behalf of the Community by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2760/72 of Dec. 19, 1972, is to be interpreted as meaning that it precludes the introduction, as from the entry into force of that protocol, of a requirement that Turkish nationals such as the appellants in the main proceedings must have a visa to enter the territory of a member state in order to provide services there on behalf of an undertaking established in Turkey, since, on that date, such a visa was not required."
