Dear Mr Dobjani

I am writing to thank you for kindly taking the time to meet with the delegation of the European Parliament Former Members Association during the recent Study Visit to Albania

We have just had a meeting of the FMA Management Committee and the delegation leader, Mr Jan-Willem Bertens, gave a full account of the Study Visit to our meeting. Naturally, our members will also pass their impressions on to their colleagues in the European Parliament.

I am delighted that everything went so smoothly and that our members were able to engage in very constructive dialogue with the national and local authorities and parliamentarians in Albania.

Yours sincerely

Mr José María GIL ROBLES

FMA President
