| Summary: | Albania’s authorized economic operators
(AEO) program is not yet operational, even though the
country has adopted the necessary European Union (EU) legal
and regulatory frameworks. This smart lesson outlines
shortcomings in the adoption of AEO provisions under the
European community customs code (CCC) as well as the
obstacles the national government has faced putting in place
the complementary reform measures necessary to ensure
practical effectiveness. Lessons learned from the Albanian
experience may be instructive for other countries in the
central European free trade agreement region as they look to
operationalize their AEO programs without diverting from AEO
guidelines as set out in the EU acquis. |
