Concessions draft law, symbolic contract with "1 euro" is removed

The Committee on Employment and Finance discussed today the new draft law "On Concessions and Public-Private Partnerships", which aims to create a unified and competitive framework to promote private investments through PPP schemes.

Representatives of the Ministry of Finance stated that the draft law establishes clear rules for the planning, awarding, administration and supervision of concession contracts, based on the principles of transparency, non-discrimination, proportionality and legal certainty.

"The draft law aims to unify competitive procedures; strengthen ex-ante and ex-post control by the Ministry of Finance; guarantee transparent rules for the implementation and monitoring of contracts; manage risks and share them between the parties; harmonize with EU standards; increase the supervisory role of the Ministry of Finance, APP and ATRAKO, as well as promote best value for money and protect the public interest," said Deputy Minister of Economy and Innovation, Blerta Rama.

According to her, the draft law supports the government's priorities for economic growth by mobilizing private capital in areas such as infrastructure, energy, environment, tourism, health and education.

"It is part of the General Analytical Plan of Draft Acts for 2025, the National European Integration Program and the public finance management strategy, contributing to fiscal consolidation and improving the business climate," she stated.

In response to MP Erion Braçe's question that prisons are a public service of national importance and should not be included in the list of sectors that can be subject to concessions, ATRAKO director Emiliano Gjika said that "this article is a copy paste of the EU directive and does not directly include this sector, but other services that are offered to prisons."

He also said, "in the new draft law, we have removed from the list of concessions the point that was for symbolic contracts for 1 euro."

The new law "On Concessions and Public-Private Partnerships" obliges institutions to make public the bid price, price list, catalog, and information regarding bid selection criteria.

Also, for each concession, a feasibility study must be conducted in advance and approved by the Ministry of Finance, after all costs-benefits and potential risks for the state budget have been analyzed./ ATSH
