53 Members of the United Kingdom Parliament have signed a parliamentary motion titled “the Future of Moldova” to support Moldova's European integration and territorial reintegration efforts, and encourage the early adoption of a new legal arrangement between the European Union and Moldova, which would ease Moldova's path towards the EU, the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The Motion was proposed by a group of MPs at the initiative of Alun Michael, member of the UK-Moldova Friendship Parliamentary Group. The motion is still open for signature. According to the Motion, the UK House of Commons reiterates its strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within internationally recognised borders, and calls for the resumption of the 5+2 negotiation format, which is crucial in achieving a viable settlement to the Transnistrian issue. The Motion also requests the resumption of Joint Working Group activity on measures to build confidence and security on both sides of the Nistru, appreciating the work of the EU Border Assistance Mission in improving security and custom control at the Moldovian-Ukranian border, and welcoming the extension of its mandate after 2009. At the same time, the Motion supports the initiative to convene a high level Conference of Donors in 2009 on a post-conflict rehabilitation and development programme for Moldova.
