On Section 11 'Text Available from' we want to add the information as follows: Under ‘National Enquiry Point, or address, telephone and fax numbers, email and website addresses, if available of the other body’ we want to add: General Directorate of Standardization WTO Enquiry Point – Albania Tel.: +355 42 22 62 55 E-mail: info@dps.gov.al Website:

This draft legislation 'On some changes and amendments on the existing Law No.10 416, dated 7.4.2011 'For planting and propagating plant material', as amended makes some changes in some of the terms previously used, as well as re-formulating some of its articles to better serve in the improvement of the structure, the procedure and the requirements for the registration of the planting material and the plant propagating material in the national register. It specifies the responsible structures to monitor the production, the testing and the trade of these materials, as well as regulating cases of emergency where a special authorization may be needed. Lastly, seeing as the production and the trade of these materials is done without the need of a licence, some criteria have been added for the entities that exercise this activity to follow.
