Brussels gives the “green light”, EU enlargement with Albania and the other countries of the region is ready! The Commission’s package is revealed

The European Commission has approved a package on the policy reviews before enlargement with the six countries of the Western Balkans, which also include Albania.

The package made public this Tuesday by the European Commission sets out the policy orientations and actions needed to prepare the union for enlargement.

In today’s package, the Commission offers an in-depth assessment of the union’s policies in light of the future enlargement.

It determines how the existing Treaty framework and the future accession treaties can be used to prepare the union for a wider membership, as TCH reports.

It also proposes a series of safeguard measures for the future accession treaties, including stronger sectoral safeguards and a new institutional safeguard clause, to ensure that the commitments undertaken during the accession negotiations continue to be fulfilled in a sustainable way after membership.
