TIRANA, April 1 – Chief Inspector Dashnor Sula organized a working session to review the implementation of inspection system reforms in daily field practice. The meeting aimed to improve control standards and ensure consumer protection, both essential for meeting European Union requirements.
Sula stressed that a well-functioning inspection system increases institutional trust, safeguards citizens, and guarantees their rights. Conversely, gaps in implementation create opportunities for informality, abuse, and risks to public interest, placing responsibility on inspection bodies.
The reform focuses on enhancing field inspections, prioritizing safety, conditions, and traceability. Sula emphasized that while the law aligns with EU standards, consistent and practical implementation remains a challenge. The new inspection law, 99/2024, establishes a clear framework for public control, standardizes methodologies, and ensures transparency across all inspectorates.
Sula highlighted the broader goal of the reform: transforming a fragmented system into one with common operational standards. The approach shifts inspections from frequency-based routines to risk-oriented oversight and from individual practices to a data-driven, methodological system. The General Inspectorate’s role is to monitor performance, ensure adherence to shared standards, and provide continuous analysis, without replacing sectoral inspectorates or intervening in their technical decisions.
The reform underlines Albania’s commitment to modernizing public oversight, protecting consumers, and aligning national practices with EU expectations.
