Dragos Tudorache: The EU will not abandon the Republic of Moldova this winter
This is what the rapporteur for the Republic of Moldova in the European Parliament, Dragos Tudorache, says. According to the official, Brussels will not abandon the Republic of Moldova this winter, giving it financial support and expertise in order to overcome the energy crisis, IPN notes.
The Romanian MEP, DragoČ™ Tudorache, says that the European Union is now examining medium and long-term solutions to help the Republic of Moldova diversify its natural gas supply sources and learn to effectively manage such an energy crisis.
“Here, too, the European Union will help the Republic of Moldova, I mean expertise, to learn to play on the free gas market. There are already European experts who have contacted their counterparts in the Republic of Moldova to help with expertise. And of course, finding storage solutions. Any area that needs gas has a storage capacity, just to get over the difficult periods that Moldova is going through now “, said the MEP during the show” Punctul pe Azi “from TVR Moldova.
The official also says that the short-term solution that the European Union can offer to the Republic of Moldova is the allocation of funds, so that our country can procure, until a consensus with Gazprom is identified, natural gas on the international market and help citizens to do. in the face of great deeds.
“Negotiations are advanced and for a new macro-financial assistance, it is discussed how much of this assistance should be a grant and how much a loan. Because it is clear that these 60 million do not cover the need of the Republic of Moldova to spend the winter. In Romania we are in a full political crisis which means that the dialogue between the two governments is not based on some very solid pillars, but the Interim Government of Bucharest is engaged and serious discussions have taken place to find solutions. Romania is not very good either, but Romania must also make an effort to help the Republic of Moldova, to use the gas pipeline, which has become fully operational “, pointed out Tudorache.
Recently, the European Union provided the Republic of Moldova with non-reimbursable financial assistance amounting to 60 million euros for the management of the energy crisis.
