We recognise the progress Albania has made, including in tackling organised crime and corruption, but believe significant additional reforms are required before further steps can be taken towards EU accession. Particular areas of concern include reform of public administration; independence, efficiency and accountability of judicial institutions; the fight against corruption; the fight against organised crime; action to tackle illegal migration; protection of human rights, anti-discrimination policies and property rights.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 16/07/2014 10:41:40 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
