Minister sees path for two of Europe's large neighbors

德國外長認(rèn)清兩大歐洲鄰國的前進(jìn)道路

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said the Brexit deal could provide answers to how the EU can manage relations with some non-member countries.

德國外長加布里爾表示，英國脫歐協(xié)議可以為歐盟如何管理同非成員國關(guān)系提供答案。

"I can't imagine Turkey or Ukraine becoming EU members in the next few years," he said.

他說：“我想象不出土耳其或烏克蘭在未來幾年成為歐盟成員國。”

"If we get a smart agreement with Britain regulating relations with Europe after Brexit, that could be a model for other countries – Ukraine and also Turkey," he told Funke newspaper. His comments were published on Tuesday.

他對馮克報社表示：“如果我們與英國達(dá)成一項明確協(xié)議用于監(jiān)管英國脫歐之后同歐盟之間的關(guān)系，它可能就會成為包括烏克蘭和土耳其在內(nèi)的其它國家的一個樣板。”他的評論于周二見報。

Turkey has been a candidate for membership in the EU for many years. It has a customs union with the EU, an agreement that permits trade of most goods without tariffs.

土耳其多年來一直是歐盟成員國的候選國。該國與歐盟締結(jié)了關(guān)稅同盟，該協(xié)議允許大多數(shù)商品進(jìn)行無關(guān)稅貿(mào)易。

Gabriel said EU ties with Turkey could be increased by a "new, closer form of the customs union." However, the German minister said any changes would have to wait until Turkey's political situation eased.

加布里爾表示，“一項全新、更緊密的關(guān)稅同盟”可能會提升歐盟同土耳其的關(guān)系。然而，這位德國外長表示，任何改變都需要等到土耳其的政治局勢緩和下來。

Thousands of people have been detained in Turkey as part of a government campaign following the failed attempt by parts of the military to seize power in 2016. Some of those detained are German citizens. Germany has voiced concerns about Turkey's human rights record as political developments continue.

繼2016年軍方試圖奪權(quán)失敗之后，作為政府運動的一部分，土耳其已經(jīng)有數(shù)千人被拘留，其中一些被拘留者是德國公民。隨著政治事態(tài)的不斷發(fā)展，德國對土耳其的人權(quán)記錄表達(dá)了擔(dān)憂。

Ukraine also has sought closer ties with the EU.

烏克蘭也在尋求深化同歐盟關(guān)系。

The issue was one of the causes of the popular movement that ousted pro-Russian Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014.

這個問題是造成2014年驅(qū)逐親俄羅斯的烏克蘭總統(tǒng)亞努科維奇的全民運動的原因之一。

Ukraine currently has some agreements with the EU which is its largest trading partner. There are plans to cut tariffs between the two and to reform Ukraine's trade rules to more closely match those of the EU.

烏克蘭目前與歐盟之間存在一些協(xié)議，歐盟是該國最大的貿(mào)易伙伴。烏克蘭有計劃降低兩國之間的關(guān)稅，并改革烏克蘭的貿(mào)易規(guī)則，以便更加貼近歐盟。

However, Russia's loss of influence in Ukraine in 2014 led it to seize Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. Russia also supports pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of the country.

然而，2014年俄羅斯在烏克蘭喪失影響力導(dǎo)致該國占領(lǐng)了烏克蘭的克里米亞半島。俄羅斯還支持該國東部親俄羅斯的分裂主義分子。

Ukraine was a former Soviet republic. Its political situation remains unsettled by separatist divisions.

烏克蘭是前蘇聯(lián)共和國。分離主義導(dǎo)致該國的政局仍然不穩(wěn)。

Gabriel is a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD). The party is positioning itself for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel's more conservative Christian Democratic Union.

加布里爾是德國社民黨成員。該黨派正在準(zhǔn)備同默克爾總理所屬的更為保守的基民盟進(jìn)行談判。

The sides are seeking agreement on governing together for another four years.

雙方正尋求就共同執(zhí)政另外四年達(dá)成協(xié)議。
