Titulli i nje lajmi: “Gara mes ENEL dhe RWE per TEC-in”:

Plani i qeverise per fillimin e negociatave konkrete me njeren nga kompanite eshte per t’u mbyllur ne fillim te vitit. Mendohet qe ndertimi i termocentralit do te kerkoje kater vjet, me vlere investimi mbi 1 miliard euro. Sasia e energjise qe do te prodhohet konsiderohet teper e larte, pertej nevojave te vendit tone, per pasoje eshte menduar qe gjysma te mbetet ne Shqiperi dhe diferenca te eksportohet.

Dihet ka vite qe Shqiperia po vuan per infrastrukturen kryesore te nje shoqerie te civilizuar si Energjia Elektrike (shkurt dritat), uji, rruget etj.

20 vjet qe pas ekspozimit ndaj botes se qyteteruar pas izolimit komunist dhe pak eshte bere ne kete drejtim. Fajtor jane te gjithe politikanet per mungese vizioni, por dhe te gjithe intelektualet qe kishin nje te drejte fjale dhe nuk e thane dot. Megjithate po kthehem tek zhvillimet e fundit.

Kur degjova per projektet ne Vlore per ndertimin e TEC-eve u ndjeva mire ne fakt. Pavaresisht se kishte nje grup njerezish qe dilnin ne protesta dhe ne ditet me te cuditshme, thelle e ndjeja qe Shqiperise i duhet nje revolucion ekonomik. I duhet nje infrastrukture energjitike qe te mbeshteste ekonomine ne rritje apo te ndihmone ne investime ne zona strategjike sic ishte zona portuale e Vlores. Nje TEC atje do te thoshte “drite” per te gjithe zonen e Vlores, me shume pune per qytetaret e Vlores, per inxhinjeret qe po mbarojne shkolla ne Shqiperi dhe duan te jetojne vetem ne Tirane duke braktisur provincat shqiptare. Ai TEC do te thoshte levizje ne nje ekonomik te vdekur dhe te pashprese.

Por TEC-et kane dhe disa faktore negative ne vetvete. Nje nderto eshte ndotja qe krijohet ne ambientin perreth. Kjo ndotje eshte e kushtueshme drejtperdrejt ne natyre dhe ne para! Kostoja e pare ne natyre eshte deri diku e pashmangshme per nje shoqeri qe deshiron te jetoje prane kompjuterit, prane drites dhe faktore te tjere qe shprehin mireqenien ne kohet tona. Gjithmone per te balancuar koston natyrore jane krijuar parqe te gjelber dhe eshte e llogjikshme qe te tille te krijoheshin dhe ne Shqiperi.

Kostoja e dyte eshte e shprehur ne vlere monetare te drejtperdrejte!

“United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” eshte nje organizim qe merret drejtperdrejt me kontrollin e gazrave te emetuara nga cdo shtet ne bote. Qellimi i kesaj konvente eshte ulja e gazrave te emetuara ne hapesire duke aplikuar rregulla te ndryshem.

Bazuar mbi kete konvente, nje marreveshje e quajtur “The Kyoto Protocol” thekson qe:

Vendet e angazhuara nën Protokollit të Kiotos duhet të përmbushin objektivat e tyre për të kufizuar apo reduktuar emetimet e gazit kryesisht përmes masave kombëtare. Si një mjet shtesë të takimit të këtyre synimeve, Protokolli i Kiotos futi tre bazuar në mekanizmat e tregut, duke krijuar atë që njihet tani si treg “karbonit.”

Tregu i Karbonit funksionon ne kete menyre. Nje shtet me shume ndotje karboni eshte i detyruar te mos kaloje nje limit te caktuar. Nese ky shtet e ka te pashmangshme tejkalimin e emetimit te karbonit, atehere mund te tregetoje tepricen e tij me nje shtet i cili ka emeton me pak ndotje ne atmosfere.

Ne nje situate te tille, nje shtet X teper i industrializuar mund te kete interes qe t’i paguaje nje vendi pa industri si psh Shqiperia 10tra milion euro ne vit per te balancuar emetimet e tij te gazit. Vendi me pak i zhvilluar si psh Shqiperia do perfitonte nga nje situate e tille per te investuar keto para ne nje energji te paster!?!

A perfiton Shqiperia nga nje situate e tille? Pse duhet te krijojme nje TEC ne Porto Romano i cili gjeneron me shume energji sec kemi nevoje, per te cilin shqiptaret do te paguajne njesoj energjine (cmim kosto plus humbje te tjera si shtet).  Pse duhet te ndertohet nje TEC qe do te shkaterroje ambientin perreth Porto Romanos, do ndikoje faunen ne ate zone dhe do te varferoje shtetin shqiptar vazhdimisht pasi dikush po perfiton me shume?

Situata 2: Varferimi i vendit tim … dhe pergjigja e nje përse-je

Ti besh dem disa brezave te tere me njerez duhet te jesh ose shume injorant, ose shume i korruptuar.

… Por, ndoshta më e zakonshme është se ne identifikojmë një vend që ka burime të lakmuara nga korporatat tona, si naftë, dhe pastaj sajojmë një hua të madhe në atë vend nga Banka Botërore (World Bank) ose ajo e një prej organizatave motra. Por në fakt paratë nuk  shkojnë në vend, paraja shkon në korporatat tona të mëdha për të ndërtuar projektet e infrastrukturës në atë vend. Termocentralet, parqe industriale, porte … gjëra që përfitojnë disa njerëz të pasur në atë vend dhe korporatat tona.  Keto investime nuk do të ndihmojmë në të vërtetë një shumicë të njerëzve në të atë vend. Megjithatë, te gjithe ata njerëz, i gjithë vendin është zhytur ne një borxh të madh.

Citimi me siper eshte shkeputur nga John Perkins, nje nga ata njerez qe negocionin keto marreveshje korruptive me pushtetaret e disa vendeve. Te njejtat marreveshje qe shkaterronin te ardhmen e nje populli dhe rrisnin pasurite e disa korporatave boterore. Ne historine e tij, John Perkins vazhdon duke dhene dhe disa shembuj real te 40-60 viteve me pare, por qe po perseriten dhe sot ne Shqiperi.

Shembujt e tij kane te bejne me menyren se si u ndikuan politikat e shtetit te Guatemales (1954), te Ekuadorit (1981), Panamase, Venezueles e shume shembuj te tjere.

Nje nderkompanite e permendura nga ai ne keto konfesione permendin dhe emrin e kompanise Bechtel ne trazirat ne Bolivi ne vitin 1999. Sic duhet Bechtel eshte nje nder kompanite me aktive ne investimet e medha te Shqiperise. Pikerisht ato investime qe jane nisur me borxhe te medha nga World Bank dhe pjese e disa skandaleve ne Shqiperi.

Megjithate nuk po perqendrohem tek Bechtel, por po kufizohem tek Borxhi i Jashtem i Shqiperise. Grafi me poshte tregon rritjen e ketij borxhi nga Qeveria Shqiptare nga viti 2000-2008.

Borxhi i Jashtem i Shqiperise: Burimi: Banka e Shqiperise

Parashikimi?

Ne vitin 2007, Banka Boterore klasifikonte Islanden si vendin e 3te me te pasur ne bote per person. Sot Islanda eshte vendi i pare i zhvilluar qe falimenton, pikerisht per shkak te politikave ekonomike te ndermarra ne dem te tij, dhe te toleruara nga udheheqesit e saj.

Do doja qe te beheshim sa me te ndergjegjshem per rrezikun qe po i kanoset dhe vendit tone nen injorancen dhe lajmet idiote ne televizion. Shqetesimi kryesor i yni duhet te jete ekonomia, arsimi dhe perparimi i vendit, dhe jo shfaqjet politike.

Nese dikush deshiron te bashkepunoje ne nje projekt me te gjere nen kete vizion, eshte i mirepritur te kontaktoje.

Perse?

Po shkruaj sepse u lodha me indiferencen dhe injorancen e gjithckaje perreth. U lodha nga buzeqeshjet dhe turet mashtruese. U lodha dhe nga ulerimat barbare per hapjen e kutive. U lodha nga shkollat e rrenuara ne fshatrat e Shqiperise. Mbi te gjitha ndjehem i shkaterruar kur shoh qe po behet cmos qe e ardhmja e njerezve qe do jetojne ne Shqiperi do te jete e zeze.

Cetel as is the part of Calik Enerji, owners of AlbTelecom

Let’s start by making something clear. I like the turkish people! Beside the fact that they are hotblooded (just like us, the Albanians), they are one of the most entrepreneurship persons you can find in the world. That I learned in a seminar in Turkey a couple of years ago (and it was not a turkish statistic!?). It was the Germans that has first noticed the ability of the Turkish to take risks and initiate new businnesses.

I won’t talk about the turkish restaurants and the turkish small business around the Europe. They have done a great job and they have practically mastered the market. Instead I will talk about a big turkish company in Albania.

Four years ago, AlbTelecom (Albanian Telecom), the albanian core service provider for telephony services was sold to Çalık Group. The AlbTelecom was considered a pearl from the albanian public companies that were placed for sale from the Albanian Government. The company was the only licenced telephony  provider (a monopol) and the only Internet backbone company in Albania. In a roten communist country as my country was, there was not so much space for innovation or smart investments from a state company. Selling Albtelecom was an expected move and everyone was hopping to have a new foreign player with a will for investements and innovations. (We also loved the fact that a Turkish and not a Greek company has entered our communication market. Vodafone and AMC, both part of Panaphone and Cosmote Greece have been operating in the Mobile Telephonie for some years in Albania.)

History of Telephony in Albania

Having a phone line in the ’80s in Albania was luxury. The phones at home, were a privilege of the highest communist party members, the highest directors and you rarely could find someone else having a phone home. The situation was the same even in the late ’90s, I remember walking to my best friends house, just to call my girlfriend asking her about goingout plans. If this sounds strange to you, read out the next sentence. In year 2004, when we had to change office for our own software-developing company, we were unable to get a fixed phone line. Although we had Cell phones, I could not get a fixed telephone line for my company. I had to ask everyone I knew around to finally get a telephone (after 4 months) just because my father-in-law “knew” somebody in the AlbTelecom. (And I am feel terribly bad as I write this line).

This is how they do it!

Happy enough we started making business cards, flyers, and publishing the phone number on all the websites we own. We also run some advertisements in a National Television and of course the phone number was part of the TV Messages. For five years, we have build a little bit of marketing around that phone number and the customers called there for problems or new projects where our assistance was needed. Everything looked fine until last month …

I called back in the company from Germany one day and I was surprised to get a female message saying that “the Phone Number has changed”! Changed? I knew that one extra digit was inserted some time ago but I was sure to have dialed the correct number. I switched to call a Mobile line of my brother who runs the company now. Also confused he informed me that they have cut out the phone line without any notification. He has called to ask for the reason and he was informed that this was not a defect. AlbTelecom was changing some phone lines and also the telephone numbers in the area. I felt really frustrated. I realized that they are creating chances for more phone numbers in the area. That was expected, but shutting down company phone lines is heavy damaging. All those marketing costs, all that down time is killing for a small company. And yet there is nothing to be done.

I call this a turkish was of handling business! I could not imagine even an Albanian company, or a company from another country dealing with this situation in this manner.  Showing no respect for your customers is terrible. I know that Phone Numbers, just as domains can be re-routed and although it is not easy, it is not impossible. Frustration does not help, I tried to forget about the issue and move on with a new phone number we got. At least we got that within 15 days. Let’s forget it I said. Change the marketing materials, change every trace of the old phone number. Notify the clients.

I almost forgot about the old phone number when one day I had a customer and friend of mine (it is nice when customers become your friends) telling me that he tried to reach us on the old office number. I was about to smile and explain when he interrupted: “A family has your phone number. At least they were nice!”

A family? Within 15 days the AlbTelecom has reallocated our old phone number and assigned it to a family!!

I really hoped that they were a nice family. I did not want to imagine if some clients call and some rude and unpolite persons shouts them in the other side just because he was midday sleeping and he got bored from these phone calls. Hoping!

Well, here is the end line. Surrender. Opening a case is time consuming and justice does not yet understand the customer rights in my country. Complaining will not work as this is not a mistake from a departement of AlbTelecom. It is a principle of the company that they do what they want and how they want it.
At least I can write this blog in English and hope that it will pop up on the search terms for AlbTelecom or Cetel and Calik Group. Maybe some (young) executive will see it and take some time to reflect on the customer rights in the future.

P.S In May (’09) I also got married. Just one day before my matrimony, my home phone line was cut down with the same message (and no notification). “This phone number has changed”. Pitty, those days before you get married you are happy because everyone calls and congratulates you about one of the most important dates in your life. Especially those friends and relatives that where unable to attend but want to share the joy with you. I left few days after my wedding and there was no signal at my home. Today is 5th of June and my family has no phone yet. Mom, I will call you later, when AlbTelecom pleases.

Seat in one of the Alitalia airplanes

Alitalia is a very strategic company as they can use the travel routes that go through Italy. Basically all the Nord African and many Eastern Europe and West Asian countries can use Alitalia as their intermediary connect point to other flights. … and still Alitalia is striving not to go bankrupt for many years.
