lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we have received reports from the Committee of Nationwide Reconciliation in Albania, which actively combats blood feuds, that there are 750 children who are under virtual house arrest because of a customary law in the Kanun which has got completely out of control. The self-same non-governmental organisation (NGO) counted more than 30 vendetta killings last year. In contrast, the Albanian Government has reported considerably lower figures. Be that as it may, the democratic rule of law and Albania’s accession to the European Union in the longer term are by no means compatible with the cruel practice of blood revenge. Commissioner, that brings me to two questions which I should like to address to you. Is the Albanian Government making sufficient efforts to combat grotesque perversions of the Kanun? On the subject of grotesque perversions, I should add that another practice in evidence today is that of hiring hit men to allow blood feuds to rage on without bounds. My second question is: in what ways is the Commission assisting the Albanian authorities in effectively pushing back the tide of blood feuding? I am thinking, for example, of an educational programme, a back-up option which would not be without its difficulties. Thank you for your reply."@en1
