Businessmen from Chisinau and from central Moldova will take part in a seminar centering on the opportunities provided by the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement between the EU and Moldova (DCFTA). The entrepreneurs will also learn about the methods of applying to the existing funds and of supporting businessmen in the context of the implementation of the DCFTA, IPN reports.
According to the UK/Moldova Assistance for Reforms Program, the entrepreneurs will be informed about the current commercial regimes and measures and the quality infrastructure, including practical aspects related to the sanitary and phytosanitary standards.
Similar seminars were earlier held in other regions of the country with the aim of informing the entrepreneurs about the benefits, challenges and impact of the DCFTA on their activity.
According to the organizers, the seminars will be given by experts from the field and representatives of the Ministry of Economy. The event is held within the Assistance for Reforms Program that is financed by the British Government. The program is coordinated by PwC UK and PwC Moldova and the Analytical Center “Expert-Grup” in close cooperation with the British Embassy in Chisinau.
A qualitative study of the needs of the business community in Moldova showed that about 67% of the respondents do not know or know not much about the DCFTA.
