• the start of negotiations on Moldova’s entry in the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA);
• the resumption of relations with the International Monetary Fund and the restructuring of debts by the Paris Club.

The premier indicated among priorities:

• actions capable to speed up the integration of Moldova into the European Union;
• facilitation of visa regime for Moldovan citizens;
• better combination of possibilities of bilateral diplomacy and of multilateral diplomacy, economic and political aspects of diplomacy;
• the reintegration of the country and the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict;
• strengthening of Moldova’s positions on economic markets: regional, European, international;
• optimisation of activity in international and European organisations, especially in the Council of Europe and the United Nations;

• promotion of a positive image of Moldova abroad.

It was announced at a TV conference held at the governmental headquarters, with the participation of central and local public administration authorities, that all districts have elaborated and approved local gasification and sewerage and water providing programmes. The gasification level of districts is various, with the maximum share in the districts of Criuleni, Taraclia, the administrative-territorial unit of Gagauzia, the municipalities of Chisinau and Balti reaching 100 percent. The lowest gasification level is registered in the districts of Soroca and Ungheni. The gasification process covered 614 localities, as of January 1, 2006, which is about 40 percent of the total number of localities in country. The building of gas pipes to 33 administrative units is being completed. Overall, the gasification of at least 190 localities is expected in 2006. Representatives of local public administration said that a set of complex measures are being implemented in districts and they aim to restore and to develop water providing and sewerage systems. The prime minister asked the local public administration to update local water providing and sewerage systems within two months, in order to give an impulse to this process.

The prime minister told a July 26 sitting of his cabinet that ministers and other functionaries run the risk to be fired, “if they do not contribute to implementation of the Moldova-E.U. Action Plan.” Vasile Tarlev considers that many ministries show little interest for entry in the E.U., do not manifest interest for cooperation with diplomatic representations of Moldova to other countries.

The National Agency for Energy Regulation has increased the natural gas tariff by 50.4%. Moldova-Gaz chairman Ghenadi Abashkin did not warm the new tariffs because he has demanded a 55–60 percent rise of the gas price.

On July 19, filling stations in Moldova increased the price of gasoline by nearly 7% and the price of Diesel oil by about 3%, which was the third rise of fuel prices in 2006. The rise was argued through dearer crude oil and derivates at world exchanges. Earlier, the prime minister had assured that the Diesel oil price for farmers will not grow, while the price of fuels will be maintained after opening of the Giurgiulesti oil terminal scheduled initially for April and for June later.

The Ministry of Education and Youth has launched an information campaign to promote secondary professional education, with the purpose to persuade youths to study at vocational schools. Not all the seats allocated by government for these purpose have been occupied, with youths opting for higher education.
