Nothing, these would only apply as law to member states. Since December 13 2016, accession talks have been stopped and from the last interview to Erdogan that I've heard on an European TV, it was clear he no longer believes Turkey will ever be a part of EU, given the way that most member states populations and leadership look at Turkey (notwithstanding his presidency) and the difficulties that have been raised constantly throughout the whole accession process that started in 1987.

Recent EU wide survey:

> The survey found there was strong opposition to Turkey joining the EU, with 61% of people saying they opposed it. This was most strongly expressed in Austria (82%), Germany, France and Belgium (all 73%).
