Albania signs the Council of Europe Protocols of Convention 108+ and 205
The Commissioner’s Office in Albania has notified that Albania has recently signed the Council of Europe Convention on Access to Official Documents (CETS No. 205) and the Protocol amend- ing the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data (CETS No. 223).
The first act (CETS No. 205) is the first binding international legal instrument to recognize a general right of access to official documents held by public authorities. It represents an important step forward in completing the Albanian legal framework on the right to access information.
Transparency of public authorities is a key feature of good governance and an indicator of whether or not a society is genuinely democratic and pluralist.
Newsletter February 2022
Access to Official Documents Meanwhile, the second act aims to modernize and improve the Convention (ETS No. 108), taking into account the new challenges to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data which have emerged since the Convention was adopted in 1980.

The accession to both these Convention shall complement and update the Albanian legal framework in the fields of the right to information and the protection of personal data.
