The Government is to obtain new powers as regards the international treaties. It will have to monitor the international treaties through ministries and other central administrative authorities or responsible institutions and to assess, once in four years, the topically of the international treaties, says a bill that was given a first reading by Parliament, IPN reports.
The bill authors, MPs of the Shor Party, said that even if there are relevant legal provisions, these cannot be applied. No institution keeps now a record of all the international treaties to which Moldova is a party, respectively of all the rights and obligations deriving from these treaties. Such a situation can generate increased risks of non-fulfillment of particular obligations and this will affect Moldova’s image and can even lead to the appearance of damages.
At the same time, the absence of clear monitoring of international treaties can lead to the fulfillment of international obligations of treaties that no longer hold interest to Moldova, are no longer topical and lost efficiency.
The bill is to be given a second reading. During the past 15 years, Moldova paid about 1 billion lei dues to different international organizations.
