Chairmanship of the CIS Council of Government Heads

Prime-minister Vasile Tarlev has taken over the Chairmanship of the CIS Council of the Governmental Heads at its April 16 reunion at Ciolpon-At (Kyrgyzstan), after Iuri Iarov, Chairman of the CIS Executive Committee officially asked for President Voronin’s endorsement in this respect.

A raft of agreements were signed during the reunion aimed at boosting co-operation within CIS, among others: Agreement on introducing international certification for weighting vehicles; Resolution on complying with financial pledges by CIS member states; Resolution on financial measures required for establishing a unified anti-aircraft defence system, etc.

Republic of Moldova — EU Action Plan

Republic of Moldova’s top priority, i.e. to join EU, outlined by President Voronin during the graduation ceremony of European integration course, was once again reiterated by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrei Stratan in an interview to “Radio-Moldova” on April 24. “Individual action plan Republic of Moldova — European Union might be signed in June this year by diplomats in Brussels and Chisinau and later on adopted by the EU’s Ministerial Political Committee [probably referring to General Affairs and External Relations Council — ADEPT comment] and Moldovan Government” said Stratan.

Noteworthy, the Action Plan was due to be approved in May this year. The delay was largely due to the adjournment of the third round of negotiations, which was initially scheduled for mid-March and was to be resumed at the end of March or early April.
