Moldova: supplementary Community macro-financial assistance

The European Parliament adopted its resolution drafted by Marjo MATIKAINEN-KALLSTROM (EPP/ED Finland) approving the proposal for a Council decision providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Moldova, subject to certain amendments. These are mainly designed to emphasise that the reforms must create jobs and contribute to meeting the basic social needs of the population. The Commission is given the task of ensuring that a coherent approach is implemented between economic conditionality linked to this aid and the priorities retained for the assistance under the TACIS programme. The comitology procedure has also been changed.�
