The Democratic Party has opposed the law on tourist ports, expressing concern about deviation from European practices, fair competition and transparency.

Jorida Tabaku, in her capacity as Vice-Chairwoman of the Stabilization and Association Committee in the Albanian Parliament, in a letter addressed to the ambassadors of the EU, Germany, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as the Commissioner for Transport and Competition, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, and the Commissioner for Competition, Teresa Ribera, lists the concerns of the Democratic Party regarding this law.

“The proposed amendment to the law on tourist ports provides that, in cases where a project is granted the status of “strategic investment”, the investor may build and operate the tourist port directly, without being subject to competitive or concession procedures, while important elements of this process are delegated to be determined through further decisions of the Council of Ministers. From a competition perspective, this approach raises concerns in light of Article 71 of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, which requires the avoidance of any measure that may distort competition. Granting exclusive rights to a single entity, outside any open and competitive procedure, risks creating selective advantages and excluding other operators from the market, weakening the principles of fair competition and equal conditions. At the same time, this initiative also raises concerns in relation to the principles of Chapter 5 (Public Procurement), where open procedures, transparency and equal treatment are essential for management of public assets. From a transport perspective, the proposal directly affects the way port infrastructure is managed and developed, which in European Union countries is considered part of strategic infrastructure and is subject to clear regulatory frameworks that guarantee non-discriminatory access, transparency and effective supervision. The integration of rights for the development of a port within a private project, without competitive procedures, constitutes a deviation from consolidated European principles and practices,” Tabaku’s letter states.
