Rama: Our pact for EU Integration

The pact includes the Parliamentary Reform, the Electoral Reform and the election of the heads of independent institutions.

Edi Rama said that there is a chance to receive the EU candidate status on 12 December, insinuating that if the government will not sign this pact, they will not sign the laws that require qualified majority.

The Pact for “Albania Like all Europe”

1. Let us vote the new rules for the Parliamentary coexistence.

2. Let us establish the joint ad hoc Parliamentary Commission for approving the institutional Parliamentary reform.

3. Let us create the Electoral Reform within March 2012, through a bilateral agreement, based on all recommendations of the last two OSCE-ODIHR reports, by agreeing that every opposition’s proposition that is approved by the OSCE or the Commission of Venice will be approved by the Albanian government through consensus.

4. Let us treat through a consensual process the election of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council. Let us vote through consensus the elected candidate for governor, in accordance with the law.

5. Let us elect the Supreme State Audit director through consensus.

6. Let us elect the Ombudsman through consensus, for finding a figure that has not been a militant of the big political parties.

7. Let us charge the Commission of Laws to treat with an “ad hoc” group – within this Parliamentary year and with the participation of constitutional experts – all matters regarding laws that require qualified majority, even those that have been already addressed to, even those that will be brought by the opposition.

8. Let us agree that the limitation of the parliamentary immunity cannot continue to be a usual practice, as it had up to now. Let us sit on a dialogue table for reviewing the Constitution, involving the Commission of Venice, for the limitation of the parliamentary immunity and for the matters of national and public interest that deserve to be reviewed.

9. Let us address to the General Prosecutor with a letter signed by all Parliamentary Group leaders and MPs for two issues: first, the full investigation of the January 21st tragedy, offering full political support until the last day of her mandate (including the murder of MP Xhindi and the Head of Commune, Veseli); secondly, let us ask the Prosecutor to summon all politicians who enjoy parliamentary immunity and who have been shown as connected with crime and corruption by the most famous cables of the world.

10. Let us balance through consensus the board of the Public Television and find a director that guarantees impartial public information, which is paid equally by all citizens. Let us vote through consensus the media law, for ending all political pressures on public media.
