Background
Albania has benefited from significant assistance from the EU with regard to capacity building in the field of food safety and veterinary. Nevertheless, despite the progress made so far, the food veterinary and phytosanitary system is still not consolidated. Although small compared with other sectors of economy, the fisheries in Albania represent an important socio-economic sector. The sector embeds high growing potentials to be exploited through formulation and adoption of appropriate policies sustained by efficient investments. The fisheries chapter is one of 35 chapters of the Acquis: the most important part of this chapter is the body of law implementing the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which manages EU fisheries and aquaculture based on Articles 38-43 of the Treaty of the European Union. The main objective is to establish a responsible and sustainable fishery sector by eliminating inappropriate fishing practices, as well as creating opportunities for jobs and growth in coastal areas taking into account the application of principle of equal treatment between men and women.
