The notice of the Council of the European Community, of the institutions and of the Council of Ministers, by which Albania's entry into the PHARE Program is approved, constitutes an event of historic importance for our country. Albania's accession to the Program of the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which are on the road to economic and democratic transformation, was made possible by Albania's participation in organizations and institutions of a financial and economic nature. This became possible through the fulfillment of certain political and democratic requirements. The fulfillment of the economic and financial conditions is linked to the creation of a free economic zone in the republic. The Commission of this community has its representatives in the office for European affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Albania's accession to the PHARE Program, it is emphasized in the notice of the Council of the European Community, after the establishment of diplomatic relations with European countries, constitutes aid for our country with the aim of intensifying economic organizations and institutions, as well as integration into the European economic system. In this framework, Albania also fulfills the requirement for creating a joint commission between NISO? and the Twelve, as well as the establishment of trade relations, which expresses a new readiness to get even closer to Europe. Through these relations, taken within the framework of the PHARE Program, Albania deepens contacts with European institutions, and a positive perspective is opening up for us as well. The importance of this accession is particularly great, because this program is closely linked to the process of economic recovery. The Commission of this community will help our country with concrete technical and financial assistance. In this sense, it is the first step toward a broader process of approaching Europe.

ITALIANO: UN ALTRO PASSO CHE RAFFORZA LA DEMOCRAZIA E CI AVVICINA ALL'EUROPA Il comunicato del Consiglio della Comunità Europea, delle istituzioni e del Consiglio dei Ministri, con il quale viene approvato l'ingresso dell'Albania nel Programma PHARE, costituisce un evento di importanza storica per il nostro Paese. L'adesione dell'Albania al Programma dei Paesi dell'Europa Centrale e Orientale, che sono sulla strada della trasformazione economica e democratica, è stata resa possibile dalla partecipazione dell'Albania a organizzazioni e istituzioni di carattere finanziario ed economico. Ciò è stato possibile grazie al soddisfacimento di alcune condizioni politiche e democratiche. L'adempimento delle condizioni economico-finanziarie è legato alla creazione di una zona economica libera nella repubblica. La Commissione di questa comunità ha i propri rappresentanti presso l'ufficio per gli affari europei del Ministero degli Esteri. L'adesione dell'Albania al Programma PHARE, si sottolinea nel comunicato del Consiglio della Comunità Europea, dopo l'instaurazione di relazioni diplomatiche con i Paesi europei, costituisce un aiuto per il nostro Paese con l'obiettivo di intensificare le organizzazioni e le istituzioni economiche, nonché l'integrazione nel sistema economico europeo. In questo quadro l'Albania soddisfa anche il requisito della creazione di una commissione congiunta tra NISO[?] e i Dodici, nonché dell'instaurazione di relazioni commerciali, il che esprime una nuova disponibilità ad avvicinarsi maggiormente all'Europa. Attraverso questi rapporti, assunti nel quadro del Programma PHARE, l'Albania approfondisce i contatti con le istituzioni europee, e si apre per noi una prospettiva positiva. L'importanza di questa adesione è particolarmente grande, poiché questo programma è strettamente legato al processo di ripresa economica. La Commissione di questa comunità aiuterà il nostro Paese con assistenza tecnica e finanziaria concreta. In questo senso è il primo passo verso un processo più ampio di avvicinamento all'Europa.
