Resoluciones del PE

Parliament adopted by 554 votes to 70, with 65 abstentions, a resolution on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with the Republic of Moldova.

With the association agreement and the deep and comprehensive free trade area, the EU and Moldova has committed to promoting political association and achieving economic integration. It has committed itself to incorporating the EU acquis into its own laws and practices in a wide range of areas.

To support these efforts, the Union is committed to providing substantial financial and budgetary assistance to Moldova, provided that fundamental European values and principles, such as the rule of law, human rights and democratic rights, are respected.[...]

The European Parliament adopted by 396 votes to 76, with 18 abstentions, a resolution on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Moldova.

While stressing the importance of the AA/DCFTA and the progress achieved by Moldova to date in a number of areas, Members insisted, however, that full implementation of the AA/DCFTA, with regard, in particular, to political reforms, must be a top priority, enabling a further deepening of the country's relations with the EU, for the benefit of all Moldovan citizens.

Members are concerned the country is backsliding in relations to democratic standards, rule of law, lack of fair and transparent elections as well as impartial judiciary, insufficient anti-corruption and anti-money laundering efforts. Still, they praises those leading the efforts, which should be pursued, to reform the banking sector following the 2014 bank fraud of USD 1 billion.[...]

The European Parliament adopted by 343 votes to 35 with 160 abstentions, a resolution on the political crisis in Moldova following the invalidation of the mayoral elections in Chișinău.[...].

European Parliament called on the Moldovan authorities to:

• reform the judicial system, including nominating new judges, so as to prevent the judiciary from intervening in the electoral and political process or in any other way undermining the democratically expressed will of the people of Moldova;
• make determined efforts to recover the funds stolen as a result of the 2014 banking fraud during which a total of around USD 1 billion was stolen from the Moldovan financial system, and bring those responsible to justice, irrespective of their political affiliation;
• address the recommendations of the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission on electoral reform;
• respect international principles and best practices and guarantee an enabling environment for civil society.

The precondition's fulfillment and the objectives achievement will be monitored by the Commission and the European External Action Service. If these are not met, or if the aims/principles of the Association Agreement are disregarded, the Commission shall temporarily suspend/cancel the Union's macro-financial assistance. Moldova shall inform the Commission about the implementation of the assistance with full disclosure and strict compliance with Union financial rules.
