European Integration

After the three parliamentary factions signed a joint declaration singling out European accession as the “fundamental strategic objective” of the Republic of Moldova, European Parliament acknowledged in a resolution on November 20 Moldova’s right to become an EU member, on condition it complies with political and economic criteria. The resolutions outlines that it should become “a strong incentive” in relations with its neighbours as part of “Wider Europe” policy.

It is worth mentioning in this respect, that on November 25 the “Task Force on Wider Europe” convened on a session. The Task Force unites 12 experts of the European Commission and 4 independent experts representing Belarus, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine. Moldova is represented by Oleg Serebrian.

At the same time policies on the future EU neighbours are drafted, funds are sought to ensure their enforcement. For instance as part of the new neighbourhood policy EU would grant around 10 million Euro to the Republic of Moldova to implement two programs in years 2004–2006, one on Moldova-Romania bilateral relations, and another one on closer ties with EU member states.
