The Council will also have to publish all the drawn up regulations in the Official Gazette of Moldova. At the meeting on September 19, the Government approved a bill to modify the current legislation in the area in order to fulfil the stipulations of the Threshold Country Plan under the U.S. Millennium Challenge Account, and of the EU-Moldova Action Plan that concern the amendment of the legislation that regulates the running and organisation of the judiciary system, especially as regards the enhancement of transparency in its activity.
