Tirana, October 31 – Minister of Economy and Innovation Delina Ibrahimaj said Albania joined the additional protocol of the CMR Convention for electronic load invoices. **She explained** this step aims to modernize and improve the international road transport system.

During the bill presentation in Parliament, Ibrahimaj said the measure is part of ongoing modernization and digitization of the economy. She added that shifting from paper to electronic invoices creates a more efficient, transparent, and reliable transport and logistics system.

According to Ibrahimaj, every good entering or leaving Albania can now be tracked in real time. The system automatically verifies the shipment and notifies customs and road authority structures. As a result, businesses and the state will face less bureaucracy, more transparency, and lower costs.

Ibrahimaj noted that Albania made significant progress in digitalizing customs, transport, and public platforms. Therefore, the law must ensure sustainable and standardized implementation.

She stressed that adopting the CMR protocol supports connectivity and the Berlin Process. In addition, it links Western Balkan countries to the European common market. Ultimately, the law simplifies and speeds up the movement of goods and services, supporting economic development.
