The Head of the EU Delegation in Chisinau Peter Michalko expresses his concern about the adoption of the fiscal policy and capital amnesty legislation by Moldova’s Parliament. Michalko noted that its hasty adoption might lead to a breach of commitments taken by the Republic of Moldova with regard to the EU and other international partners. The EU representative also says that the European Union expects the authorities to stop the adoption of this legislation, informs unimedia.info. “The Republic of Moldova has taken upon itself commitments with regard to the EU, inter alia under our Association Agreement, Association Agenda and the Memorandum of Understanding on Macro-Financial Assistance, as well as commitments to other international partners. The legislation adopted today (on July, 26), in a hasty and non-transparent manner, if applied, might lead to a breach of these commitments and be inconsistent with the on-going reforms aimed at strengthening of rule of law, combating corruption, money laundering and organised crime and improving the business climate. We expect the Moldovan authorities to stop the process of adoption of this legislation and to bring it in compliance with international standards”, wrote Peter Michalko on his Facebook page.
