A number of Romanian MPs submitted to the Senate of Romania a bill to oblige the traders to provide different exhibition and selling areas for Moldovan products. The initiators of the bill said the legislative proposal is designed  to ensure the economic integration of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, IPN reports, with reference to Mediafax.

According to the bill, eight in ten inhabitants of the Republic of Moldova are of Romanian ethnicity, one third of the residents have dual nationality and the history of the Republic of Moldova is a constituent part of the Romanian history. Romania’s economy is four times more modern than Moldova’s economy. Romania’s policies should include the Moldovan component and should be aimed at the economic integration of the two states.

The initiators are 18 MPs of the People’s Movement Party (PMP) and the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and unaffiliated MPs. Among these are the president of the PMP Eugen Tomac, former leader of the PMP Traian Băsescu and PSD senators Ion Ganea and Ioan Talpoș, ex-members of the PMP.

The bill to amend and supplement Law No. 321/2009 concerning the sale of food products was introduced into the Senate and is to reach the Chamber of Deputies that will take a decision.
