BRUSSELS (A.A) - February 7, 2012 - Turkey's European Union Minister Egemen Bagis on Tuesday met with Union's enlargement commissioner, Stefan Fule, in Brussels.    The meeting between Bagis and Fule focused on efforts to create "a positive agenda" in Turkish-EU relations to take "concrete results" in 2012, said a statement from Fule's office.  "We are working together to take concrete results this year in bringing Turkey closer to EU standards and practices as well as in commerce and customs union, visa issue and migration," the statement said.      The statement also said the Union welcomed a recent reform package in Turkey's judicial system, adding that more reforms were needed to remove "problems in freedom of expression and long detention periods."  In a separate meeting with EU deputy commissioner on competition, Joaquin Amunia, Bagis discussed conditions on the opening of the policy chapter on competition in Turkey's accession talks.
