29/01/2009 Session
At the opening of the Assembly 2009 session, on 26 January 2009, the still unratified credentials of the delegation of Albania to the Parliamentary Assembly were contested on procedural grounds as there were reasons to believe that one member of that delegation for the 2008 session had been removed from the delegation for the 2009 session in breach of the relevant provisions of rules of procedure.
After examining the various objections made, PACE has found that there was no indication that the principles guaranteed by the Assembly’s Rules of Procedures were not respected in the nomination of the members of the parliamentary delegation of Albania and therefore decided, in a resolution unanimously adopted today, to ratify their credentials.
