Upcoming changes to the Republic of Moldova’s roaming regulations were the topic of a workshop held in Chișinău on 19–20 February 2024. EU4Digital Facility’s Telecom Rules experts met with representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation, the national regulatory agency ANCRETI, and local telecommunications service providers. The aim of the event was to support further progress in harmonising Moldova’s electronic communications legislative framework with EU standards and ‘acquis’ — the collection of common rights and obligations that constitute the body of EU law.
Regarding Moldova’s progress in the telecoms sector, roaming regulations expert Ioanna Choudalaki, said that Moldova’s roaming approximation to the EU roaming acquis holds great significance, as it not only supports businesses but also brings people closer together.
The elimination of roaming charges has been a success story in Europe. The broadening of the geographical scope can only be beneficial, improving EU and Moldovan commercial relations and residents’ lives.

As Moldova moves towards EU accession, its telecoms regulations will need to reflect the rules stipulated under the EU’s roaming regulatory framework, building upon the retail and wholesale roaming guidelines specified by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). In the near future, EU4Digital experts will support Moldova in drafting legislation that reflects not only international roaming rules but also the electronic communication regulations as established by the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC).
