It means that Moldova will align and implement many of our legal standards brought in all kind of different areas, like public procurement, sanitary standards, competition and state aid.<\/p>\n<p>In all these areas we aimed that European rules will rain in Moldova. That means that you will have much more legal security; the process will be much objective than it is now. For ordinary citizens it means security in the country, more possibilities to export, to act as a businessman, to get in contact. Perhaps it will be much easier to establish your own business as a Moldovan businessman in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Only by starting the negotiations on the Association Agreement, a so-called standstill clause has been agreed on duties. Since we started the negotiations on the Association Agreement no duty can be changed anymore. For instance, last year we increased the quota for wine and for some other products for exports of Moldova to the European Union. There will be no such quantitative quota anymore, once the Association Agreement including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area will start.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: If a visa free travel regime with the EU will be established, under what conditions will the Moldovans be able to travel freely and to what countries?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel:<\/strong> This concerns only Schengen countries. But Schengen countries are the majority of EU member states and maybe by that time, even more countries will join the Schengen zone. Concerning the other agreements, Moldova will have to agree bilaterally. For instance, with the United Kingdom &#8211; this has to be done separately.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, this means that once we have achieved an agreement on visa free regime, the Moldovan citizens can travel for up to 3 months in a row without any visa, only with their Moldovan passport to the Schengen countries of the European Union. Moreover, they can move within 3 months freely inside the Schengen zone, but they will not be allowed to go for an employment in that period.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: Would people residing in Transnistria bearing the Moldovan passport benefit from this regulation?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel:<\/strong> Anybody with a Moldovan passport can travel.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: Do you see a strong commitment of the Moldovan society (not just of state institutions) to move closer to the EU?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel:<\/strong> I think it is also the task of the Moldovan Government to inform the society what are we doing, what are the negotiations are all about, what does a visa free travel regime and the Association Agreement mean. This is the main task of the Moldovan Government.<br \/>\nObviously, we will help as much as we can as delegation of the EU. Whenever I am traveling inside the country, of course, I am informing my counterparts and people. I am meeting a lot of civil society representatives, as well.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important to have the people on board, to do something so the people understand that [the reforms are] good for them and Moldova as a country, to move ahead, to advance, and to become a prosperous country. We believe that we can make an important step towards such a prosperous country once we have signed and successfully implemented our Association Agreement.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: Is Moldova efficiently spending foreign funds from donors for reforms?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel:<\/strong> I can only talk about EU funds, because this is what I am responsible for here. Regarding our funds, I can say that an absolute, vast majority of our funds is very correctly used. We also have a quite good security mechanism for our projects. There is a list of conditionality: we pay budget support in different tranches, and we will not pay the next tranche if the whole set of conditions has not been fulfilled. So, we control it. We have already applied this in one case where we have not paid, but withheld the funds for one year, and paid one year later when the conditions were fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: What are the areas in which Moldova has the biggest achievements in terms of reforms?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel:<\/strong> I think there are a few areas in which Moldova has made good progress. The justice reform strategy is ready to be implemented. This is an important achievement. The reform of the judiciary is one of the most important criteria to measure how democracy and the rule of law are implemented in Moldova at this stage. I see also good efforts in the reform of the Ministry of Interior since the nomination of the new minister. These are the areas which are on the right track.<\/p>\n<p>In the energy sector, Moldova has made a good progress with aligning the legislation to the EU standards through the commitment to implement the so-called second and third packages of the Energy Community Treaty.<\/p>\n<p>In the visa dialog we have also seen that Moldova has been able to adopt in a short period of time all our necessary pieces of legislation, as well as all necessary standards in order to be able to move to phase two of our visa dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether we believe that Moldova is on a good track, but of course is a lot of work that remains to be done.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: What are Moldova&rsquo;s shortcomings in terms of implementing reforms?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel:<\/strong> I think Moldova has had &#8212; up until March &#8212; problems resulting from non-electing the president. I am very pleased to see that since the president has been elected, there is much more unilateral approach between the three alliance parties in terms of implementation of reforms.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest shortcoming in my view is the not-so-efficient fight against corruption in the country. More needs to be done in the future. We stand ready to help. We have a couple of projects which aim to help in this context. Linked to the fight against corruption, we have to speed up further the reform of judiciary. We have to improve the investment plan and make it easier to investors to come here and invest. We should reduce the red tape that is still raining in a number of areas. We see a lot of willingness on the Moldovan side to move quickly ahead.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moldova.ORG: What is next for Moldova? When is the next round of negotiations with EU?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirk Schuebel: <\/strong>The next round of negotiations on Association Agreement including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area is in 10 days time in Brussels. There will be a whole range of meetings in that week in Brussels. There will be negotiations on the Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area; there will be a meeting on the mobility partnership, there will be a sub-committee on trade and investment, and there will the cooperation committee.<\/p>\n<p>So, this will be a &ldquo;Moldova week&rdquo; in Brussels that shows again the intensifications of our relations. A week later we will have the big moment of the visit of the president of the European Commission, Mr. Jos&eacute; Manuel Barroso to Moldova on the 29th and 30th of November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>We present an interview with Dirk Schuebel European Union Ambassador to Chisinau for Moldova.
