Albania joins the European Agreement on Road TrafficSeptember 2nd, 2005
FiledSeptember 2nd, 2005The European Agreement, concluded under the auspices of the UNECE in 1971, was aimed at achieving greater uniformity in the rules governing road traffic in Europe, with a view to curbing the then growing number of road accidents and victims on European roads. To this end, the European Agreement established road safety standards that were stricter than those of the Convention on Road Traffic of 1968 and that some non- UNECE Member States Parties to the Convention might have difficulties meeting. The European Agreement also made obligatory some provisions that were of a recommendatory nature in the Convention.
