Evolution of the Agricultural Legislation in Albania: Relevant Criminal Profile

Abstract

Abstract Abstract. Albania, after the fall of the dictatorial system in 90’, has faced numerous challenges in relation to the development of his own agricultural legislation. The current status of Albania, as a negotiating candidate country for the EU, has increased the obligations and responsibilities of the State in the adoption of laws and national strategies focus on agriculture. Thanks to international projects and partners, Albania, only in the latest years has managed the reformation of its agricultural system. The difficulties resulting from mass immigration, property conflicts, the creation of a sustainable economy organized in family businesses of the SME typology, the mechanization of the agricultural economy, investments in technological innovation, as well as closely related problems that directly affect the development of Albanian agriculture, present concern and need solutions. Misuse of funds, fraud or corruption related to the implementation of international agricultural financing programs present a problem in guaranteeing security and right access to agricultural support system and schemes. Beyond the difficulties, the goal is that in the European journey, Albania can raise its competitive abilities in the E.U. market, implementing the best community policies. The research methodology used is based on empirical (quantitative) data obtained from the Albanian and foreign Statistical Institutes, as well as on the objective analysis of these data in a comparative relationship between them.
