Eneida Sema (LL.M)<br />

Albania has ratified several conventions of the International Labor<br />

Organization and has to do more in this direction by selecting and deciding<br />

the priorities in ratification.<br />

We may state that the today’s Labor Code has met the standards, but<br />

evidently it is not the most perfect one towards creating the desired space for<br />

a democracy of industrial developed relations according to the Western<br />

<strong>European</strong> model.<br />

The Code of Labor regulates the working relationships, but not the labor<br />

market and other economic, political and social factors that influence it.<br />

When the labor market is in a high degree of informality, the Law should<br />

intervene to regulate it. The Law which regulates the working relationships<br />

the labor legislation, particularly regarding the institution of protection at<br />

Code of Labor should provide greater protection for women,<br />

children and persons with disabilities.<br />

Provisions of the Labor Code that regulate the signing of collective<br />

contracts should create greater spaces in terms of cooperation among<br />

the parties concerned.<br />

Strengthening of cooperation between the Employers, Employees<br />

and the State along with further development among them in terms<br />

of the social dialogue, serves to a better viable harmonization of<br />

employer-employee interests and its approximation with<br />

international standards of labor.<br />

Strengthening of inter-institutional cooperation makes up an<br />

important step for further regulation of working relationships and<br />

improvement of legal framework where the cooperation among<br />
