The Republic of Moldova submitted to the European Commission the second part of the questionnaire with questions for EU accession
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, Natalia Gavrilița, handed the EU ambassador to Chisinau on Thursday afternoon, Janis Mazeiks, the second part of the questionnaire with questions received on April 11 from the European Commission which is intended to be a diagnosis of the Republic of Moldova on several key sectors.
“It simply came to our notice then seven completed volumes of the second part of the questionnaire. At this moment, the happiest are all those who take care of the weeks living with a certain task on the agenda. I would like to thank once again all the officials, employees of the public authorities, friends from civil society and the diaspora, but also the partners for solidarity and dedication to complete the questionnaire “, said Natalia Gavriliță, during the inauguration of the new headquarters of the European Union Delegation in Moldova.
The European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson, was also present at the event in Chisinau.
Many experts from civil society in the Republic of Moldova, as well as in Romania, helped to complete the questionnaire. Gavrilița added that this is the way to work in the “big and friendly team of European countries”.
Romania has not yet communicated what exactly helped the Republic of Moldova in formulating some answers from the questionnaire.
Natalia Gavrilița also said that this questionnaire is of “high quality” and that it was done in record time, reiterating that the Republic of Moldova is part of the European space. Last but not least, she expressed her hope that the Republic of Moldova will soon receive the status of a candidate country for EU membership and that it will be able to open the negotiating chapters for EU membership.
This could happen at the European Council summit scheduled for 23-24 June in Brussels.
The Republic of Moldova received on April 11 the questionnaire with questions from the EU that radiographs the state of affairs in the Republic of Moldova. The first part of the document contained about 360 questions, and the second part contained about 1,900 questions.
The European Commission is currently examining these responses and will probably formulate an opinion on this next month.
