Ilirjan Celibashi, the State Commissioner for Elections, has requested that two draft laws with fiscal impact not be reviewed in the Assembly during the election period.
More specifically, it concerns the changes to the law "On Value Added Tax" and the draft law "On the Package of Goods", which Celibashi emphasizes do not respect article 91, point 4, of the Electoral Code.
According to him, the approval of these acts during the campaign contradicts the principle of neutrality of state institutions and could be perceived as electoral favoritism through fiscal policies.
"Today, in the public session, I found that the approval of two draft laws, "On some additions and amendments to law no. 92, dated 24.07.2014, 'On the full value tax in the Republic of Albania' and the draft law "On the mountains package", does not respect the respect of article 91, point 4, of the Electoral Code.
This decision is based on the principle of neutrality of the length of election years, with the aim of avoiding the possible influence of the electorate changes on fiscal or economic policies.
In this context, the adoption of several draft laws, which are important policies, may create the perception of using legal means for electoral purposes. For this reason, I ask the Albanian Parliament not to consider these two draft laws in plenary session,” writes Celibashi.
