Businesses play an important role in Albania’s European integration process and have many opportunities to benefit from it, EU Ambassador to Albania Sofia Moreira de Sousa said.

During a meeting with business representatives, the ambassador presented the 2026 Albania Report and discussed key issues affecting the business environment, including the rule of law, legal certainty and fair competition.

Moreira de Sousa stressed the importance of public consultations and meaningful business involvement in drafting legislation.

“Laws work better when those who have to implement them are consulted at an early stage of the drafting process. Businesses must have a genuine role in this process,” she said.

Meanwhile, the ambassador highlighted access to the European single market as one of the main benefits of EU membership.

She added that achieving this goal requires joint efforts from all stakeholders.
