Conseil Européen des Syndicats de Police

Organisation Internationale Non Gouvernementale au Conseil de l’Europe
RE : SEC. GEN. n° 231 / 2014 Lyons, 11July 2014
Ref: SPP SH’s offices

Mr. Minister of the Interior,

Our organization, the European Council of Police Unions, has already contacted you last April 16th 2014. Our point was about the way Albanese police was treated, and the respect of collective bargaining and the law in the relations between Albanese authorities and those who are in charge of the security of your citizens.
Our colleagues of Sindikat Punonjesve te Police Shtetit now inform us the offices they used to work, in the premises of Police Commissariat n° 1 in Tirana, for this democracy mission that is unionism, are retired to them.
Once again, Mr. Minister of the Interior, I would like, as the Secretary – General of the European Council of Police Unions, to address you personally:
– How is it possible, in a country which received last June 2014 the statute of candidate of membership of the European Union, to deprive of basic means the ones who do so much for their country?
– How is it possible to congratulate those who are able to dismantle human trafficking, able to realize one of the most important cannabis seizure, and in the same time to treat them as second-class citizens?
– How can you assume to trample previous agreements which had this good impact on the police officers ‘wages – and mostly – to reinforce the recognition feeling they need, considering the risks they take for the population?
Mr. Saimir TAHIRI
Minister of the Interior
MINISTER I BRENDSHEM
TIRANA
ALBANIE
At this stage of the process of your entry in the European community, how will you do to assume the fact that you do not event respect the texts your country has already signed, such as the European Social Charter? Do you think the stakeholders will stay silent before you negotiations effectively start?
The cardinal value of European Union is the rule of law.
Mr. Minister of the Interior, please respect the European social values, starting by those who, maintaining an orderly society, contribute to the image you will show to the European Union.
The European Council of Police Unions, present in the council of Europe, close to the European authorities, will if necessary broadly communicate about the harassment suffered by your police representatives.
Please accept, Mr. Minister of the Interior, our salutations.
Gérard GRENERON
Secretary – General
