HAMBURG (Deutsche Welle) - Germany's Social Democrats ended a party conference with an unexpected vote for speed limits on the country's motorways and criticism of Chancellor Merkel's stance on EU membership for Turkey. Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) voted in favor of introducing a top speed of 130 kph (80 mph) on Germany's famed speed limit-free Autobahns or motorways. The non-binding measure however will be hard to pass into law in the face of opposition by Chancellor Merkel's center-right Christian Democratic Party (CDU), the SPD's coalition partner. The conference produced another surprise when German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier rebuked Chancellor Merkel for holding out the promise of EU membership to Turkey for decades, contingent on reforms, but then withdrew support.
