The EU-Albania Joint Consultative Committee

The EU–Albania Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) is a civil society platform established between the EESC and civil society of Albania (social partners and other civil society organisations). It was formally established by Decision No. 1/2024 of the EU–Albania Stabilisation and Association Council on 1 October 2024, and entered into force on 1 December 2024.

The Civil Society JCC complements, with a civil society point of view, the EU institutional framework related to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the EU and Albania. The Civil Society Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) comprises members from each side. The JCC allows civil society organisations from both sides to monitor the path of Albania towards the EU, and to adopt recommendations for the attention of the government of Albania and the EU institutions.
