Why "Non-paper" is worth less than a toilet paper

The distributed "Non-paper" is a mechanical collection of some phrases found in international reports and reminds of the "strategies of the fight against corruption" of Fatmir Xhafaj's time as minister of Fatos Nano.

Empty phrases that don't mean anything remind you of Ardian Dvorani's time when he worked as director of Fatmir Xhafajt.

Why "Non-paper" is worth less than a toilet paper

Ardian Dvorani

The "Non-paper" has no reference to the "Screening Report" and the Action Plan that has been prepared by the Albanian government to start negotiations with the EU for the first group-chapters related to the rule of law.

If there really was a need to "reform from scratch the reformed justice system" as presented in the "Non-paper", such a thing should have been evidenced by the "Screening Report" and the Action Plan of the Albanian government that was approved in that went

"Non-paper" presents the same approach as before 2016, but without any preliminary analysis of what are the strong and successful points of the Law Reform 8 years after its adoption and what are the weak points that are intended to be addressed.

On the contrary, "Non-paper" envisages with general phrases once again the revision from the beginning. 8 years after monitoring the implementation of the Law Reform, the drafters of the "Non-paper" should have been able to determine the needs faced by the reform of the rule of law in Albania.

"Non-paper" does not present any concept/element of the executive's fight against corruption and organized crime in all links of central and local government. "Non-paper" does not at all identify the executive as the main cause of corruption, nor the dramatic need for deep reform within the executive at the central and local level to fight the degree and different forms of corruption, the need for political and institutional accountability.

"Non-paper" does not identify any idea/need to separate the state from the party, political clientelism, inseparable links between politics/crime/oligarchy/media.

"Non-paper" does not present any critical analysis or preventive measures of the executive in the fight against corruption, mass theft and organized crime, "entrusting" this task to the institutions of justice, which will once again enter the "reform" process. .

"Non-paper" has no reference from independent institutions for their concrete needs and also there is no argument on the need or concrete usefulness of this initiative to "reform the reformed justice".

It is not known if a new architecture is required for justice institutions, if the status of the prosecutor of SPAK and BKH should be strengthened, if investments will be made in technology and infrastructure, in new magistrates, etc.

"Non-paper" has no concrete reference about the struggle of other powers, except that of justice, in the struggle against corruption, organized crime and abuse.

For example, mass theft practices with PPPs, with strategic investors, contracts with forgiveness of public assets to investors, etc./ CNA
