Edition notes and known limitations

Original source edition; not a verified current-law consolidation. Unknown. No current-law consolidation, effective-period determination, MLI application, or complete amendment-chain verification has been performed. Original publication year is not a current applicability date. Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force.

The protocol printed with this agreement is separately preserved in source supplements; it has not been merged into treaty articles. Subsequent protocols, amendments, MLI effects, replacements and suspensions are unresolved. This is not a consolidated current-law instrument. Source-triage warnings: Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force.

German and English are supplied. The signing clause additionally identifies Albanian as authentic; Albanian is NOT present in this reader. The English text prevails in divergent interpretation of German and Albanian according to the closing clause. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-albania-2011-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence. Signed 2010-04-06; consent law 2011-12-05; Gazette publication 2011-12-08; treaty entry into force 2011-12-23 (retained official-article audit evidence); general application from 2012-01-01 (roster, not universal tax-specific start). Encoding-recovery method: only the source font code00 /space Unicode mapping U+0007 to U+0020 changed in a separately hashed derivative. CFF blank glyph, 278-unit advance, unchanged page content streams and 23/23 identical source/derivative page renders for this edition evidence this mapping. Word regrouping is logged; every nonspace character is conserved in sequence within its physical source line. No model-generated treaty wording and no OCR.
