To that end, and in view of their common interests, the Parties shall encourage and ensure: — a policy of active consumer protection, in accordance with Community law, — the harmonisation of legislation of consumer protection in Albania on that in force in the Community, — effective legal protection for consumers in order to improve the quality of consumer goods and maintain appropriate safety standards, — monitoring of rules by competent authorities and providing access to justice in case of disputes.
