(12 September 2019) – Following the change of government in June 2019, the Republic of Moldova has moved resolutely with the implementation of key reforms to address the deterioration of democratic standards and the rule of law.
This stems from the Association Implementation Report the EU published today – in the context of the revised European Neighbourhood Policy – on the implementation of the commitments under the EU-Moldova Association Agreement over the past year.
The report will feed into the annual EU-Moldova Association Council, taking place in Brussels on 30 September 2019.
Today’s report shows that while reforms in the economic and banking sector advanced during 2018, the fundamental structural reforms of the judicial system, the fight against corruption, the prosecution of the 2014 banking fraud and ensuring media plurality were lagging behind.
