lpv:translated text	"I would like to say a few words on the topic of Albania. Albania has made considerable progress on its path towards European integration. This is ultimately reflected in the report of Nikolaos Chountis, whom I would like to thank for this excellent report. However, much remains to be done. At this point, I would first like to mention the issue of strengthening democracy and the functioning of the legal state. Albania is wasting too much energy and too much precious time through the inability of government and opposition to reach a compromise and cooperate over the essential priorities. Among these priorities is the achievement of a consensus concerning the 2009 elections. It is necessary here for all political parties to assume responsibility, enter dialogue and implement the decision to set up a parliamentary investigative committee with the objective of drafting the required amendments to electoral law before the next local elections take place next year. Consensus among the main political parties is also necessary in issues of economic reform. Only a little progress has been achieved so far, for example, in consolidating property rights, registering real estate, drawing up an inventory of government land holdings, legalising unauthorised buildings and so on. The share of the grey and black economies in the Albanian economy remains disproportionately high, as does the level of corruption, of course. On the other hand, considerable progress was achieved last year in fulfilling the conditions and criteria for achieving visa-free relations. I would therefore like to welcome the recent adoption of the Commission’s legislative proposal on relaxing the visa regime, and I hope that in the coming months, the other conditions will also be met, so that the Council and this Parliament can approve the introduction of a visa-free regime for Albanian citizens this year."@en1
