Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what is the nature of the assistance provided by the
European Union in exchange for the collection of weapons in Albania, with reference to the Council Decision of 17 December 1999
(1999/846/CFSP). [112347]
Mr. Foulkes: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the lead organisation in the Weapons in Exchange for Development
pilot programme in Gramsh, Albania, which has recently been extended to the Elbasan and Peshkpja regions. The Council Decision of 17
December 1999 enabled the European Commission's earlier pledge of 500,000 euros to be applied across the extended pilot programme.
The UK has contributed bilaterally to this programme since early 1999 by providing two ammunition technical officers to UNDP to
oversee the collection process. We are also funding a feasibility study on the long-term safe disposal of ammunition and ordnance in
Albania, the recommendations of which will be passed to NATO, OSCE and other donors.
