Arben Pëllumbi, Chairman of the Production Activities Commission: "The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has requested an additional 6 billion lek for energy and gas, of which 5 billion lek will go to KESH in order to manage possible price effects in the energy markets or the consequences of the weather and ALL 1 billion for the Fier-Vlora gas pipeline that will be connected to the TAP project".

The changes requested by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy as well as the Ministry of Tourism will pass through the approval filter item by item of the draft budget and will be included in the report submitted to the Economy and Finance Commission.
