10th July 2024 - The Republic of Moldova has commenced the second stage of its accession negotiations, known as bilateral screening. To mark this occasion, our country is hosting a substantial delegation from the European Commission.

 

The screening of national legislation has begun with the most crucial group of chapters - Fundamental Values. Over the course of today and tomorrow, civil servants from Chisinau are presenting and analysing, together with the European Commission team, Chapter 5 - Public Procurement, an area vital for the effective functioning of any democratic state, pertaining to the efficient use of public funds.

 

Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, Cristina Gherasimov, welcomed the European officials, underscoring the significance of this event for our country.

 

„I am delighted that today's session is taking place in Chisinau, allowing colleagues from the European Commission to gain a better understanding of our country. Today marks the beginning of a new phase on Moldova's European path - a path towards peace, freedom, prosperity, and security”, stated Cristina Gherasimov.

 

In his address, the European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood, Oliver Varhelyi, reiterated the EU's commitment and support for Moldova's accession process, highlighting that the implementation of the acquis communautaire will bring even greater benefits to our citizens.

 

„Public procurement, covered under Chapter 5, is fundamental to the success of the accession negotiations. Implementing these rules will not only ensure transparency and fairness but will also facilitate swift access to EU funds, thereby supporting Moldova's economic and investment plan. This is an essential step for our citizens to experience the benefits of the European Union as soon as possible”, said Oliver Varhelyi.

 

The official opening of accession negotiations took place on 25th of June in Luxembourg, during the first Intergovernmental Conference between the Republic of Moldova and the European Union.
