New EU4Digital activity helps harmonise Moldova and EU telecommunications legislation
Date: 05/02/24
EU4Digital Facility has launched a new activity to help harmonise the Republic of Moldova’s electronic communications legislative framework with that of the European Union. Because approximating national law with EU law is considered the most important task in EU integration, this activity reflects and assists Moldova’s efforts towards EU accession following the European Council’s December 2023 decision to open accession negotiations.
Working within its Telecom Rules stream of activities, EU4Digital’s support includes technical and legislative assistance, particularly within the telecommunications sector. This will help to ensure that Moldova’s legislation approximates to EU law in the field of electronic communications. To achieve this aim, EU4Digital is working in close collaboration with local stakeholders from both public and private sectors.
In November 2023, EU4Digital organised an initial meeting to engage with representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation, as well as the National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology (ANRCETI). As updates to the legislative framework will also impact market participants, their involvement from the very beginning is also important to ensure a smooth, successful process. Thus, EU4Digital encourages active participation of market participants in a series of technical workshops, where EU experts share relevant experience and knowledge. The next workshop, focusing on EU roaming rules, is planned for 19-20 February in Chisinau.
This activity embodies Moldova’s commitment to align with the EU ‘acquis’— the collection of common rights and obligations that constitute the body of EU law—amid EU accession negotiations. EU4Digital will continue to support Moldova in its transformation of the telecommunications sector, ultimately promoting innovation and advancement in the digital sphere.
