AlbaniaOn 10 May 1999 the Council adopted an implementing Decision (1999/320/CFSP) of the Joint Action on a European Union contribution to the collection and destruction of weapons in Albania. This decision aimed at contributing to promoting the collection and destruction of weapons in the Gramsh district in Albania. The EU contribution of EUR 500 000 was allocated to the disarmament component of the UN Department of Disarmament Affairs (DDA) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) pilot project. Furthermore, the Council amended the Decision on 17 December 1999 (1999/846/CFSP) in order to extend the project to the Elbasan and Peskopja districts of Albania. On 5 April 2000 the UNDP informed the EU Commission that it was unable to fulfil the terms of a draft contract proposed by the Commission in accordance with the implementing Decision. For this reason the Council decided to repeal the two Decisions on 20 November 2000 (pdf). |
