11 Executive Summary State Context The Albania Parliament promulgated the new Air Code on the 22nd of December 2008 and was amended by law Nr 10484, date The Air Code was drafted with the assistance of EUROCONTROL under Aviation Safety & Air Traffic Control Programme (ASATC) and was reviewed by EC under European Common Aviation Area Agreement activities. The Air Code was announced by the decree of The President of the Republic of Albania on the 12th of January 2009, and entered in force after the publication in the state official gazette. The Air Code enhances the legislation framework in order to better cope with ICAO, EUROCONTROL and SES Requirements in Albania. In addition, the new Air Code explicitly defines the CAA as a pure regulator with substantial administrative and financial autonomy from the Government. The work for drafting of the new regulations and/or updating the existing ones, based on the Air Code, has started and according to the provisions of the new Air code a two year period is foreseen for the update of the existing regulations and drafting the new ones as necessary. Pursuant to the Air Code, the law Nr date as amended by low Nr date defines the provisions for the organisation and the function of the Albania Civil Aviation Authority The Civil Aviation Authority main activities are the rulemaking and the oversight in all the fields of civil air transports in the Republic of Albania according to the Air Code. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is nominated as the only NSA in the Republic of Albania and its ANS Oversight Department is established to carry out all the tasks relevant to NSAs in line with SES Legislation. NSA staff has received the necessary training and more personnel has been recruited and trained to support on the oversight and supervision of the existing ANSP, National Air Traffic Agency (NATA). ESSIP Objective Implementation Significant progress has been achieved during 2013 toward the completion of applicable ESSIP Objectives. Most of the SRC Objectives have already been completed. For the time being the Military has not any ATM Regulatory or Service Provision function, but the fact that Albania is a member of NATO since 4 April 2009, requires the necessity to implement the FUA Regulation, also published by Minister Order Nr. 10 dated CAA, NATA and Military representatives are meeting regularly to define the modalities of the FUA implementation. For some Objectives, like COM11, implementation of VoIP, the Service Provider NATA is collaborating with the FAB Blue Med Partners with the aim of common procurement and FAB wide implementation.

15 Introduction The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a five-year plan containing ECAC States actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document Year 2013 describes the situation in the State at the end of December The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them: Chapters 1 to 5 present the key players in the State, and sets the institutional and geographical scenes to help the reader understand the specifics of the State and interpret the rest of the document correctly. It also presents a short description of the main national and regional projects in which the national Stakeholders are involved. Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section. Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP.

The Implementation Programme is ongoing and is continuously updated upon direction of the BLUE MED Governing bodies. It is to be noted that Albania, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon and the Kingdom of Jordan took part with the status of Observer or Associated Partner in the BLUE MED FAB Definition Phase. 5.2 FAB Projects The following projects are listed in the BLUE MED Implementation Program: Name Schedule FAB Partner Status Expected Contribution to the Key Performance Areas 4 and link to ESSIP FAB Optimised ATS Route Network Recurrent activity Open All BLUE MED States On-Going A catalogue of airspace projects, the BLUE MED Route Network Catalogue (BMRNC), has been finalized with the BLUE MED FAB Project Definition Phase containing over 230 new airspace design proposals that are in line and beyond the scope & timeframe of ARN Version-7. Capacity, Cost-efficiency and Environment domains (also Regulatory) Free Route Operations At ANSP level At FAB level All BLUE MED States On-Going The Free Route Airspace is a specified airspace in which users may freely plan a route between a defined entry point and a defined exit point, with the possibility to route via intermediate way points, subject to airspace availability. Within this airspace flights remain subject to air traffic control. Environment, Cost-efficiency and Capacity domains Flight Efficiency Plan Recurrent activity open All BLUE MED States On-Going The Flight Efficiency Plan (FEP) is a multiyear action plan developed by BLUE MED ANSPs that, by optimizing the structure of ATM network, allows for a reduction in flight time, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by aircrafts. Environment, Capacity and Costefficiency domains Migration to IPv6 Network All BLUE MED States On-Going The use of X.25 data communication networks to support ground-ground ATS data exchanges is becoming increasingly costly and has a limited lifetime.
