Question for written answer E-002284/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Auke Zijlstra (PfE)
On 5 June, Moldpress, the Moldovan Government’s official news agency, published an article quoting the Romanian chair of the EP delegation to the EU-Moldova Parliamentary Association Committee: ‘We will stand by the Republic of Moldova, just as they have stood by us. We will defend together the European path of the Republic of Moldova and Romania’s European path.’ In addition, the article states: ‘The official assured that our country will continue to receive support in the European integration process.’[1]
In light of the above:
- 1.Does the Commission also consider the European future of Romania and Moldova to be inextricably linked? How does this view fit with both historical and recent (political) developments in the two countries and their relations?
- 2.What is the Commission’s take on the second statement above? This statement appears to be at odds with the nature of the facility for Moldova, which is based on conditional support.
- 3.Can the Commission confirm that the decision on whether to grant financial assistance to Moldova indeed lies with the Commission?
