TIRANA, Feb. 22 – Prime Minister Sali Berisha said that his cabinet would soon hand over the completed 2,280 question questionnaire from the European Commission for Albania’s application for candidate status.
Public administration officials have compiled answers to seven of the 35 chapters in the questionnaire and are in the last stages for ten other chapters, according to Berisha speaking Monday in front of his Democratic Party lawmakers.
The questionnaire is crucial to receiving EU candidate status.
Answers on the free movement of workers, public procurement, fisheries, transport policies, economic and monetary policies, policies of trans-European transportation and customs were delivered to the Inter-ministerial Council for Integration.
Albania must respond to the 2,284 questions before the end of March, ahead of a progress report that will be filed regarding its EU integration process. Tirana applied for EU membership in April 2009.
