EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager tweeted a picture of the Commission statement, which said: "The European Commission is today proposing to the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament to lift the visa requirements for the citizens of Turkey, under the understanding that the Turkish authorities will fulfill, as a matter of urgency and as they committed to do so on March 18, 2016, the oustanding benchmarks of its Visa Liberalization Roadmap."
