Chisinau, 27 July /MOLDPRES/ – The Governmental Committee for European Integration (CGIE) held a meeting, chaired by Premier Pavel Filip, to analyse the results of the National Action Plan (PNA) for implementation of the Moldova-European Union Association Agreement (PNAA) in the first semester of 2017, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.

The Prime Minister asked the Executive’s members to remain focused on implementation of the commitments undertaken by Moldova before the EU and observe the established terms of the actions. "The Government reform should not affect the implementation of the Moldova-EU Association Agenda. On the contrary, we need to be more organized and achieve better results," said Pavel Filip.

The PNA’s implementation results in 2017 will be reflected in the next week report which is to be published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MAEIE).
