Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future The Commission of Laws has resolved some disagreements between the
majority and opposition during the review for the Administrative Court
draft law.
They agreed to make the administrative contract reviews a competence of the Administrative Court. This means that this institution will administer any disagreement between the government and businesses, such as concessionary agreements, public procurements, purchases or other expenses.
Another provision for which there was consensus was related with the number judges that will trial any case. The Democrats and Socialists agreed that the routine administrative matters, such as a citizen’s complaint for any Traffic Police fine or of any administrative employee for measures taking against him, will be trialed with one judge. While other cases that are considered as more important, such as the concessionary agreements and procurements will be administered by three judges.
The Democrats and the Socialists also agreed to include the Supreme Court in the administrative trials, with the establishment of an Administrative College. Later will be decided what cases could be filed as complaint at this Administrative College of teh Supreme Court, while its structure and organization, being part of the Supreme Court, will not be discussed at the Commission of Laws.
The majority and the opposition also agreed to not include the Ombudsman as one of the subjects that can put the Administrative Court to motion. The MPs of both parties accepted the argument of the Chairman of Commission of Laws, Ilir Rusmali, who declared that by giving this competence to the Ombudsman, as advocate of the people, he would turn into the advocate of businesses. After agreeing on these four delicate points, the Commission has decided to discuss the last point, the structure and organization of the Administrative Court, which will decide how many courts will there be throughout the country and in which cities will they be established.
