Time taken by country and a European capital (6)
I believe the answer is:
tirana
'european capital' is the definition.
(capital of Albania)
'time taken by country and a' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'taken by' says to put letters next to each other.
'country' becomes 'iran' (Iran is a country).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
't'+'iran'+'a'='TIRANA'
(Other definitions for tirana that I've seen before include "foreign capital" , "Take a train to Albania's capital (6)" , "Albanian capital" , "capital city" , "Take a train to the capital of Albania" .)
