The European Commission has allocated around €200 million to the Republic of Moldova after the country implemented 24 of the 26 reforms set out in the growth plan. This was announced by European Commissioner Marta Kos at a press conference marking the launch of technical negotiations on the final chapters of the Republic of Moldova’s accession process to the European Union, reports moldpres.md. “We are pleased to announce that today the European Commission has disbursed nearly €200 million to Moldova after the country completed a further 24 of the 26 reforms set out in the growth plan. This confirms that Moldova is not only delivering results but is also among the most successful countries in implementing the reforms necessary for accession. The Moldovan authorities know what they need to do and can count on our firm support every step of the way. For our part, we will continue to work with Member States to advance the enlargement process and make the benefits of EU integration increasingly tangible for citizens,” said Marta Kos. The European Commissioner emphasized the importance of these reforms in areas of key importance to citizens, such as the judicial system, the fight against corruption, education and economic development. “Moldova now has everything it needs to move forward with the reforms required for the EU accession. This is an important opportunity to drive real change, transform institutions and prepare the country for European integration. The progress achieved so far is evident, but there is still much work ahead. Daily effort, commitment and perseverance are key to the successful continuation of this process,” added Marta Kos. The final phase of technical negotiations between the Republic of Moldova and the European Union, covering the last three clusters under EU legislation, was launched today in Brussels, marking the full coverage of all six clusters and 33 thematic chapters of European legislation.
