The Chairwoman of the Audiovisual Media Authority, Mrs. Armela Krasniqi, paid
an official visit to the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority. Mrs.
Krasniqi, was welcomed in this meeting by Mr. Tomi Frashëri, in the quality of
the Head of the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority.
In this meeting the two regulatory authorities expressed the mutual
commendation for the cooperation so far and highlighted the need for
intensification of relations between the two institutions and the further
enhancement of cooperation in areas of common interest.
Drafting of a Memorandum of Cooperation was considered of high importance
with relevance to both regulatory authorities, to include issues of common
interest, including:
The release of the 700 MHz band from AMA and the taking over of the
administration of this band by AKEP, in compliance with the deadlines set by
the EU and ITU.
The establishment of a TASK-FORCE with joint representatives from both
institutions to fight against illegality in electronic communications networks and
the development of activity solely by entities licensed by regulatory authorities.
The drafting of a joint action calendar was decided to contribute to the
accomplishment of such objectives.
Furthermore, a special focus shall be dedicated to joint monitoring for the
blocking of Internet access of sites with illegal or harmful content, by electronic
communications entrepreneurs, identified as such by AMA.
A joint working group will also be established to follow up on the issues of
interference reported by the regulatory authorities of neighbouring countries, in
border areas and beyond.
The coordination of the work for the creation of a unified frequency inventory
database, pursuant to the provisions of the Spectral Policy, shall be systematic.
