We are aware that Parliament has approved amendments to the Law "On Tourist Ports in the Republic of Albania." These amendments will need to be closely evaluated by our services, particularly in the field of public procurement and their compliance with EU legislation, which requires transparent and competitive procedures for granting concessions, including for ports.
We also understand that the new text includes provisions present in the Law on Strategic Investors. This is a law that Albania is expected to repeal as part of the steps of the Reform Agenda and within the framework of the closing conditions for Chapter 27. Albania must refrain from any step that contradicts these commitments.
