The National Implementation Plan of the EU-Moldova Association Agreement (AA) establishes key priorities to foster political association and economic integration with the EU, including actions assigned to institutions involved in the AA/DCFTA (Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area). The DCFTA defines a preferential, mutually advantageous trade relationship between Moldova and the EU, based on removal of duties on goods and obstacles to market services. To this is added the benefit of a staged liberalisation of trade on the Moldovan side, namely a gradual opening up of markets to EU products linked to domestic reform, so as to protect businesses and industries as they adjust to increased competition.
This contract is increasing awareness and understanding of Moldovan businesses to the benefits of a fully implemented and fully participatory AA/DCFTA.
