constitutional Court

The Constitutional Court has accepted the request of the deputy of the Democratic Party, Dashnor Sula, who a short time ago requested the abolition of the Transparency Board for Basket Prices. 

According to the Constitution, the decision was taken because the condition of the normative act with the force of law is not fulfilled.

However, the Transparency Board for the setting of fuel prices is still in force even though it has received the greatest criticism regarding price abuse.

Decision :

The Constitutional Court examined in a public plenary session the request of no less than one fifth of the deputies of the Assembly of Albania, with the object: "Repeal of law no. 41/2022, dated 21.04.2022 "On the approval of the normative act, with the force of law, no. 7, dated 18.03.2022 of the Council of Ministers "On transparency and price monitoring for some basic food products and other related products as a result of the special situation created in the market", as incompatible with the Republic of Albania .
