TIRANA, Oct 3 /ATA/ – The State Minister for Entrepreneurship and Business Climate, Delina Ibrahimaj, told a meeting with business community representatives on Tuesday that a new government’s initiative on a comprehensive review of the business administrative procedures was designed to cut red tape and bureaucracy practices in a bid to further improve the business climate in Albania.
Ibrahimaj noted that for years now, the Albanian government has been focusing on ways to ease service delivery to businesses and service digitization via a one stop shop, including platforms e- Albania, e- procurement, e- taxes or the portal of the National Business Centre that have helped in significantly reducing doing business time and the business relations with the state institutions in Albania.
She underlined that despite progress, there is room for further improvements.
“A large number of licenses are now issued by the National Business Centre. However, a number of licenses and authorizations are somehow uncalled for, since we think that after having established the e-registers, a part of the documents are to be found at the state institutions and we should relieve business from having to obtain them,” Ibrahimaj said.
The State Minister said that public service delivery to business has been eased by 64 public institutions.
She urged business associations to table their proposals for the re-engineering process of the public service deliver in order to further cut deadlines and procedures and improve business climate in the country.
