SRSG Promulgates new Regulation on the Establishment of the Economic and Fiscal Council

UNMIK/PR/1390

PRISTINA – SRSG Søren Jessen-Petersen promulgated on 15 July UNMIK Regulation No 2005/035. The new Regulation amends UNMIK Regulation No. 2002/10 on the establishment of the Economic and Fiscal Council (EFC).

The amendments to the EFC Regulation formalise the transfer of competencies related to the Economic and Fiscal Council to the PISG. The Prime Minister will henceforth serve as the Chairperson in the meetings of the Council. The Secretariat supports services for the Council, which up to now have been a responsibility of UNMIK, will now be provided by the Government.

These amendments, which were prepared in cooperation between the Government and UNMIK, reflect the increased capacity of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government to manage competencies in the economic and fiscal areas.
