MP Anila Denaj, in her capacity as initiator, emphasized that guided by proportionality, transparency, and non-discrimination, this legislation streamlines the services sector by removing regulatory and legal barriers to market access.

The draft law introduces market liberalization by limiting administrative intervention to cases of major public interest. It also ensures equal treatment for domestic and EU providers by removing unnecessary physical establishment requirements.

On her part, Deputy Minister of Economy and Innovation Olta Manjani stated that the draft law aligns with Chapter 3 (Right of Establishment and Free Provision of Services), aligning with one of the four EU fundamental freedoms.

Manjani explained that the draft law streamlines procedures via an ‘e-Albania’ single point of contact. This digitalization simplifies administrative tasks, cuts red tape, and boosts transparency.

Replacing the 2016 law, this draft law establishes a new horizontal framework to modernize sectoral rules, fostering a more competitive, transparent and EU-integrated services market. /j.p/p.s./
