The Visa Facilitation Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Moldova has been in force since 1 January 2008. Article 12 of the Agreement establishes a Joint Committee tasked inter alia with monitoring the implementation of the Agreement and suggesting amendments and additions thereto. At its 5th meeting on 27 May 2010, the Joint Committee made a number of suggestions for amendments and additions to the Agreement. On that basis the Commission presented on 29 October 2010 a recommendation to the Council in order to authorise the Commission to open negotiations with the Republic of Moldova on an Agreement amending the Visa Facilitation Agreement. Following the authorisation given by the Council on 11 April 2011, the negotiations with the Republic of Moldova on an Agreement amending the Visa Facilitation Agreement were opened on 13 May 2011. Three further negotiation rounds took place on 29 August 2011, 16 November 2011 and 14 December 2011. The final text of the amending Agreement was initialled on 22 March 2012 in Brussels. The attached proposal constitutes the legal instrument for the signature of the amending Agreement. The Council will decide by qualified majority. |
