The Eastern Partnership Summit that took place in Brussels last week gave a new impetus to Moldova’s European aspirations and this was the most important thing. At the same time, the Summit’s Declaration contains only positive theses referring to Moldova, Prime Minister Pavel Filip stated in the program “Moldova live” on public TV channel Moldova 1, IPN reports.

The Premier said the EaP Declaration contains a positive vocabulary in many aspects, such as the integration into the European transport corridors and the TEN-T networks, reduction in roaming charges with the EU and energy security. “For us, this thing is very important and I hope a lot we will manage to ensure interconnection between the energy sectors with the European Union’s support. I hope a lot next year to see palpable progress in this regard – interconnection with Romania’s natural gas networks,” stated Pavel Filip.

He noted that in the Summit they also discussed the development of SMEs. “A separate element, I think, is the program of the 20 key deliverables for 2020. This is a very interesting program,” said the Premier, adding there are intentions to develop a plan of action for ensuring the delivery of these results.
