In a resolution adopted on Thursday, Parliament welcomes Moldova’s EU membership application, saying the country is on the right track in adopting key reforms.
The text, approved by show of hands says Moldova has been disproportionately affected by the Russian special operation in neighbouring Ukraine. This is mainly due to the arrival of more than 450,000 Ukrainian refugees since the situation began - nearly 100,000 of whom remain in Moldova but also due to lost trade and increased energy and transport prices.
To this end, MEPs call on the EU to provide more support for the country, i.e. via new macro-financial assistance, further transport and trade liberalisation measures, and continued support for refugee management and humanitarian purposes.
