The official Chisinau never instituted so-called economic blockade measures and does not behave discriminatorily against the business community from the Transnistrian region, the Reintegration Policies Bureau said following the multiplication of accusations about alleged intentional limitation of imports of different categories of goods into the region made by Tiraspol. The institution noted the invoked difficulties are deliberately and artificially created by the de-facto decision makers of the region who resort to different preconditions for not complying with the national legislation and international commitments, IPN reports.
According to the Bureau, the business entities of the region were registered and possess licenses issued by the national authorities. The internal and external commercial operations of these are performed in accordance with the legal provisions. The entrepreneurs interact directly and efficiently with the competent public institutions that offer them counseling, guidance, recommendations and explanations about the documents that need to be presented, the mandatory procedures and the faults that need to be removed.
The attempts by Tiraspol to give a political undertone to the processes and to give the impression that normative frameworks work in parallel, with the imposition of unapproved rules, make the life of citizens and the activities of entrepreneurs from both banks of the Nistru more difficult.
The Reintegration Policies Bureau’s data show that over 70% of the commercial transactions of companies from the region are performed with the right bank of the Nistru and with EU member states and compliance with the requirements needs to be ensured.
