This article discusses the arbitrability of disputes, which in the domestic doctrine referred as procurement disputes. These are disputes from a number of laws related to public procurement and ordering. The article provides a brief analysis of the possibility of referring such disputes to arbitration courts. An obstacle to the consideration of these disputes by arbitration courts is judicial practice, which does not accept the use of the private-law mechanism for resolving disputes in such a publicly significant sphere as procurement for public needs. In addition, the author makes the assumption that the concept of the “public element”, which prevails in domestic judicial practice, makes it difficult to enforce the decisions of the arbitration courts on such disputes, since they inevitably have “public elements”, for example, the presence of budgetary funds in the legal relationship special contracting procedures. This concept is in contradiction with the fact that the state contract is a civil contract and, generally, is arbitrable, like other types of procurement. The further possibility of applying arbitration proceedings in procurement disputes is extremely controversial and leaves a wide field for future research.

Abstract The protection of the public interest is the main principle governing the activity regulation of the administrative bodies. This activity, traditionally, has been developed through administrative acts, as an expression of the unilateral and authoritarian willpower of public authority, which creates legal consequences. The administrative act has been and remains the most important instrument for the administration bodies to accomplish their mission, but it is no longer effective. Particularly this lack of efficiency is noticed in recent years when the development of the economy and the needs of the evergrowing society have prompted the administration to adapt its activity by making use of other mechanisms “borrowed” from private law. An important part of public activity can also be achieved through the contract as a way that brings the state closer to the private, mitigating its dominant position and leaving space for the efficiency of private activity to fulfil public engagements. Such contracts today are known as “administrative contracts” or “public contracts”. The terms mentioned above are instruments that establish legal relations, for the regulation of which the principle of public interest is opposed and competes with the principle of freedom of the contractual willpower. The regulation of these types of contracts is reached through the private law, which constitutes the general normative framework of contracts (lex generalis) even for the administrative contracts. But this general arrangement will have effect for as long as it does not contradict the imperative provisions of the specific act of public law (lex specialis), which regulates the administrative procedure for the completion of these contracts. This paper aims to bring to the spotlight the way our legislation predict and regulates administrative contracts, by emphasising particularly the features of their dualistic nature. The coexistence and competition of the principles of the freedom of contractual willpower and the protection of the public interest, evidenced in administrative contracts, is presented in this paper through the legal analysis of the Albanian legal framework which regulates these contracts. Under the terms when the role of the state in providing public services tends to increase and our legislation aims the harmonization in accord with the European legislation, it is necessary to improve the administrative contract regulation and extend its scope of action.

Every year, the volumes of funding in the sphere of provision of state and municipal demand increases significantly. Achieving the effectiveness of government contracts is one of the main and “eternal” problems of public funds management. For public procurement to be effective, it is necessary to meet the needs of the relevant actors, i.e. society, the state, and the private sector. In order to make a qualitative forecast of the results of public procurement placement, the development and implementation of measures aimed at improving the public procurement system, it is necessary to assess the current situation of manifestation of risks arising from the procurement of goods, works and services for state and municipal needs. For this purpose, a risk-based model for assessing the system of state and municipal procurement has been developed, which allows disclosing the nature of the risks of the procurement cycle fully and identifying a case scenario for choosing a way to loss minimization.

The state (municipal) contract includes a balance of interests of the public customer and the commercial executor (organization, private entrepreneur, individual). The execution of a state (municipal) contract is understood as the proper execution by both parties of their obligations. It is very difficult to observe the principle of equality of the parties in these contractual relations, given the advantages of the customer as a representative of the state (municipal) authority. We analyze the problem of execution of state (municipal) contracts. The main objective of the study is to systematize the main problems faced by the parties in the execution of state (municipal) contracts, to propose solutions to the existing problems. We denote risks in the execution of state (municipal) contracts by the parties. We analyze the problems of ensuring the execution of state (municipal) contracts, from the stage of obtaining a bank guarantee to applying for a claim on it, using the example of judicial practice. Special attention is paid to the grounds for recognition of the state (municipal) contracts null and void. As a research task, we define an attempt to assess the negative consequences for the executor of a state (municipal) contract if the state (municipal) contract is recognized as null and void. Based on the analyzed problems of the execution of state (municipal) contracts, we propose a model for minimizing the negative consequences for the parties.

United territorial communities in the context of decentralization are authorized to carry out public procurement at their own discretion. However, additional responsibility reinforces the need to involve the institution of audit as a guarantor of the economic and social feasibility of the process. The purpose of the article is to determine the place of public procurement as one of the objects of the national audit system in order to increase the efficiency of management of united territorial communities. It was found that, despite the improvement of legislative regulation in the sphere of public procurement, the illegal, often “lobbied” use of budgetary funds requires increased control, both from the state and the public, and from the actual administration of the united territorial communities. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the state audit of public procurement were revealed. The directions of improving the state audit of the public procurement process in united rural territorial communities were proposed, while observing the priority of sustainable development goals. The capabilities of the electronic public procurement platform Prozorro were critically assessed. The reasons and prerequisites for the elimination of the corruption component of the public procurement process at the local (united territorial communities) and global (national economy) levels were identified. The need for IT-auditing in the field of legality and economic feasibility of using budget funds in rural territorial communities was proved. The impact of the audit on the general system of information and analytical support of management consists in assessing the effectiveness of activity processes, information processes and control procedures in order to improve the management model of activity and, accordingly, the decision-making system.

This study aims to analyze the issue of tax morality and ethical (or unethical) attitudes identifiable in the tax legal relationship, considering the performance of duties in its two faces, the public (tax authority) and the private (taxpayer). The work approaches the aspects of Tax Justice, Equity and Fair Tax, inspired by the teachings of Klaus Tipke, leading to the confirmation that a tax is sustainable not only when it respects the ability to contribute, but also when the society accepts it as legitimate and necessary, even in a context of high tax burden. Thus, for this to occur is fundamental that the State manifests an ethical posture in dealing with taxpayers and with the resource’s application, whether in order to legitimize this conduct or to inspire the taxpayers to adopt the same behavior, assuming that their misconduct (tax evasion) is a direct reflection of the State posture.
