A Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), was signed on 28 November 1994 and entered into force on 1 July 1998. It is based on a commitment to shared values and effective implementation of political, economic and institutional reforms. A joint EU-Moldova European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan, based on the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, sets out strategic objectives and encourages and supports Moldova’s objective of further integration into European economic and social structures. Moldova is a partner country within the European Neighbourhood Policy. This has changed the context of relations between it and the European Union in a significant and positive way. The EU and Moldova have now finalised negotiations for an Association Agreement, which will replace the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement. These negotiations were substantively completed on 25 June 2013, and the Agreement was initialled on 29 November 2013 during the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. The Association Agreement will significantly deepen Moldova’s political association with and economic integration in the EU. It includes the gradual implementation of a deep and comprehensive free-trade area. |
