Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Tudor Ulianovschi will lead the PanEuropa Union in the Republic of Moldova. Moldova never had a branch of the PanEuropa Union in Chisinau, it is said in a press release issued by the former minister’s press service, which is quoted by IPN.
According to the press release, the proposal for this designation came from the president of the PanEurope Union Alain Terrenoire and was formulated on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Pan-Europa Union held in the French capital, under the aegis of President Emmanuel Macron, on April 26-27. The event was attended by European leaders, MPs, senators and representatives of European businesses and was aimed at outlining the priorities of the PanEuropa Union for the next period. On behalf of the Republic of Moldova, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Tudor Ulianovschi, who recently announced his intention to run in the presidential election of this autumn, was invited to the event organized inside the Parliament of France.
As a speaker at the annual meeting of the PanEuropa Union, diplomat Tudor Ulianovschi presented his position on the need to apply European directives for ensuring compliance with ESG principles (environment, social equity, etc.) in the development of small and medium businesses and in intensifying the Republic of Moldova’s efforts to join the European Union.
In this context, Ulianovschi explained what would be the ways of implementing the Community acquis based on the principles of the world trade system, while ensuring the particularities of the national economy in the development of local businesses. Among the topics raised by the members of the PanEuropa Union and the representative from the Republic of Moldova was the excessive regulation of capital flows, which creates difficulties for small and medium-sized businesses in developing economies.
Founded in 1922, the International PanEuropean Union is considered the oldest European unification movement based on which the European Economic Community and, later, the European Union were created. All the actions of this organization in the interwar period, but especially the activity after World War II were the cornerstone of the European Union, and today these associative institutions from various European states play a crucial role in the modernization of the socioeconomic sector and expansion of the European family.
