Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The process of approximation of national legislations with acquis of the European Union (EU) is a challenge in the framework of the integrating process for the countries that aspire to join EU.The approximation of national legislation with the acquis of the EU means that the country should be prepared to undertake a legal reform in order that the existing and the new laws should be in compliance with the EU legislation.The Stabilisation and Association Agreement signed between the European Union and its member states and the Republic of Albania on 12 th of June 2006, obligates the Albanian state to approximate the domestic legislation with the acquis of the EU.The article aims at describing the complexity of this process by considering it as a challenge for Albania and by focusing on the following directions:1.The legal reform and the approximation of the Albanian legislation with the acquis of the EU. The constitutional framework and the position of Stabilisation and AssociationAgreement.3. The drafting of the legal acts by basing on the approximation instruments.This article will be based on description and also on analysis of the legal acts and different documents to give evidence that the legal reform and the law drafting process should fulfil the European integration needs.
