In rhetoric, the Albanian parties share the same stance about politics.
Both the majority and the opposition spoke the same language at the
Parliamentary Commission of Integration, both saying that Albania needs
the candidate status.
One day before the recommendations of the European Commission for the status, both parties initiated the drafting of a new law for monitoring the integration process by the Parliament, since the current law dates in 2004, and its first article aims signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement.
“The other law becomes 10 years old in July, and it shows that it has not been implemented. We can tell from its first article that it has stopped working, because it is about the SAA process, when we are hoping for the candidate status today”, declared the vice chairman of the Commission, Taulant Balla.
“With the status, which is delayed, because for us it is a done deed and that should have been given long ago, Albania will go through other processes of scrutinizing and monitoring, meaning that when their time will come, the Parliament should be more prepared than today. That’s why we should support this law”, declared the Chairman of this Commission, Majlinda Bregu.
The new law, for which the civil society has been invited to give its opinion, aims to be approved within this session. The cooperation message between the parties by the integration commission comes before the third high-rank meeting between Albania and the European Union, which will be held this Wednesday morning.
Commissioner Fule will be in Tirana to read part of the report that will be sent to the member countries for orienting their decision about Albania’s candidate status on June 23rd.
