§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made in delivering European Union aid to Albania; and what effect the policy of Greece is having on this.
§ Mr. BaldryThe EU is providing a substantial volume of aid to Albania through the Phare programme: total commitments up to July 1994 were 84.6 mecu, of which 45 mecu had been disbursed by the end of 1993. However, there is a continuing and regrettable delay in agreeing the European Commission's proposal to provide macro-economic assistance of 35 mecu to Albania.
