The second half of the year will be intense for the Government of Moldova given that the commitments undertaken by the Association Agreement with the EU and the conditions for obtaining macro-financial assistance must be fulfilled, Prime Minister Pavel Filip stated in the meeting of the Commission for European Integration, IPN has learned from the Government’s press service.

“We are those who chose the European development model for the Republic of Moldova. The European integration process is in our hands, of those from the Government, and depends on the way in which we mobilize and fulfill the assumed commitments,” said Pavel Filip.

In the meeting, Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Andrei Galbur spoke about the events that are to be staged within the cooperation with the European Union. Among these are the meeting of the Moldova – European Union Association Committee and the Eastern Partnership Summit.

The macro-financial assistance of €100 million approved by the European Parliament for the Republic of Moldova will be provided by the European Commission in three tranches if the Moldovan authorities make progress. If no results are achieved, each tranche could be blocked until the undertaken reforms are done.
