Call for Expressions of Interest for Participation in the Discussion and Advisory Tables on Chapter 8 – Competition Policy
Discussion and Advisory Table – Competition Authority
What is the European Integration Partnership Platform?
As part of the European integration process, aligning national legislation with EU laws, drafting strategic documents, and the final presentation of the Albanian negotiating team before EU negotiators require high-quality preparation and intensive consultations with all societal stakeholders. In this context, the establishment of 33 discussion and consultation tables has been foreseen, corresponding to the 33 Acquis chapters to be negotiated as part of the European Integration Partnership Platform.
Through these tables, communication and advisory discussions on the European integration process take place between the Competition Authority, as the leader and coordinator of Chapter 8 “Competition Policy”, and representatives of organizations, associations, or groups with a specific interest in the areas covered by this chapter.
How does the EIPP function?
According to Prime Minister’s Order No. 113, dated 30.08.2019, “On the forms of participation, functioning, and institutional structure of the European Integration Partnership Platform,” the main objective of each discussion table is to deliberate, review, and make recommendations directed at institutions, the European Integration Secretariat, and other responsible structures in the European Integration process regarding issues within their specific fields. The tables provide consultation on the programming, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of European Union assistance for Albania.
