EU for Law Enforcement - AL2022AAP The Action supports the rule of law through strengthening the track record of proactive investigations, prosecutions, and final convictions in the fight against organised crime in Albania, including environmental crime and cyber illegal activities, trafficking in human beings and irregular migration. The action is implementing article 83 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, given the specific cross-border dimension of this type of criminality. The fight against organised crime/security is a crucial area of the EU acquis. In 2020, the Parliament of Albania adopted Law 18/2020 on countering organised crime, terrorism, and serious crimes with the purpose of tackling the economic and financial sources of organised crime in the country, through the seizure and confiscation of criminal assets.Specific assistance to the Ministry of Interior, the Albanian State Police (ASP), the Special Anti-Corruption Structure and its National Bureau of Investigation ( Struktura e Posaçme kundër Korrupsionit dhe Krimit të Organizuar - SPAK), General Prosecution Offices, the National Territorial Protection Inspectorate, and the relevant law enforcement agencies is proposed, with the aim to strengthen the National Law Enforcement System at all levels by increasing professional and organisational skills and deploying improved tools and technologies. The fight against environmental crime also needs to be tackled resolutely to fight various illegal activities including the pollution of water, air and land, and damage to protected areas that are a significant threat for the environment and public health by supporting the law enforcement capacity of relevant agencies and particularly of the National Territorial Protection Inspectorate/IKMT (Inspektorati Kombetar I Mbrojtjesse Territorit) mandated to enforce the legislation on planning and protection of territory, environment, and forests. With regards to the efforts for encountering cybercrime threats, the support will target the ASP/Cybercrime unit capacities and Prosecution Offices in the investigation and prosecution of cybercrime.The implementation of policies on migration from ASP/Border Police will be enforced in line with EU requirements in strengthening Integrated Border Management (IBM) and migration management and surveillance targeting the consolidation of the inter-institutional and international cooperation; increasing detection powers and investigation of cross-border crimes; prevention of illegal immigration and protection of vulnerable groups. The action will look at the needs on logistical capacities of the Border and Migration Police for the surveillance of the blue and green border.Lastly, the objective is to support the Ministry of Interior and ASP to implement a comprehensive, medium to long term policy document for sustainable investment on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), as basis for investment on critical ICT infrastructure such as (but not limited to) the disaster recovery data centre, and document management system. The Action is designed under the Participation development/good governance general policy objective&nbsp;(principal objective under the DAC markers)&nbsp;and will contribute to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 `Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions¿, and SDG 15: `Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity¿
