The Albanian Competition Authority has suspended today the decision to increase the price of obtaining a driving license, announced a day before by the officials.

According to the Authority, the agreement on the determination of the fees and the minimum cost for the driving license violates the competition in the provision of these services to citizens, so it has decided to suspend it.

In such conditions, after the verifications, the Authority has taken temporary measures against the state agencies involved, the General Directorate of Road Transport Services, the “National Driving School Association”, the “Road Safety” Driving School Association and the General Directorate of Taxes.

In addition to prohibiting the implementation of the agreement that provided for an increase of more than double the current price, the Competition Authority has asked the parties to submit the practice followed for signing the agreement and the legal evaluation of the procedure. This temporary measure will take effect for an indefinite period, until the end of the procedure and a final decision of the Competition Authority.
