Amendment to the Criminal Code/ EU Delegation: We monitor every legislative

The EU Delegation in Tirana has reacted to Euronews regarding the government's amendment to the Criminal Procedure Code.

In its response, the delegation states that the EU assesses and monitors any legislative initiative related to the judiciary. It further states that any initiative must be in line with European standards and EU achievements.

The delegation says that the effective fight against corruption is of vital importance for Albania's progress towards membership.

 

“ The EU monitors and assesses any legislative initiative related to the judiciary in all candidate countries, including Albania. These initiatives are expected to be in line with the EU acquis and European standards. This includes the implementation of the 2016 justice reform in the framework of Albania’s EU accession negotiations. The rule of law and the independence, accountability and efficiency of the judiciary in Albania are fundamental elements of the EU enlargement process. Rhetoric that fosters public distrust in the  judiciary and in the independence, impartiality and integrity of the judicial and prosecutorial systems is counterproductive. As we have previously stated, it is the responsibility of  the Albanian Parliament to deal without delay with requests for the lifting of the immunity of its members. The effective fight against corruption is of vital importance for Albania’s progress towards EU membership ,” the EU response states.
