Minister Shala on World Standards Day: Let's start building confidence in local products

Minister Shala's message to this day has been to create confidence in local products, because according to him, most of them are being served with BC standards.

The minister has indicated that he has a priority strengthening standards, also signing administrative guidelines for the new logo.

I signed the Logon Administrative Guide of the Standards Agency as a document establishing rules to use this agency's collection, and an identification symbol for the Kosovo Standard Organisation. This symbolic instruction represents the map of Kosovo, in two cembas (catal neʹcep) as image equations, as if the standards themselves show a model of how to produce a” product, Shala has said.

The minister has called it political problems not to engage certificates on the Standardisation Agency.

A challenge for all of us remains not to include certificates on the Standardisation Agency, with Kosovo standardisation cases becoming more powerful, more supportive, and Kosovo European-based SK standards -EN would be implemented to a higher degree”.

The minister has demanded that confidence in local products increase, adding that I will support the AKS for standards to be implemented to the highest degree.

I've asked the AKS leaders to meet the new standardisation law, even with the Administrative Guide for Certificate, so that standards can be implemented on a desired scale. I'll support him. The AKS in establishing a Certificate Sector, so that this service is offered by our institutions, let's start to build confidence in our local products, because most of them are already being served by KP standards. AKS reports show that the sale of standards annually is on the rise, so we want to believe that Kosovo is becoming more competitive with its products and services”, Shala has said.

The minister has also thanked the FMG project, which is assisting the AKS for membership in international mechanisms.

I also want to thank the EU's project for the Free Circulation of Goods, which is strongly supporting the four pillars of quality infrastructure operating within the MTI, of which standardisation is the basis of this” infrastructure, Minister Shala said.
