President discussed Moldova's EU accession project with several exporters

Chisinau, April 3 /MOLDPRES/- Holding a referendum on Moldova's accession to the European Union was discussed by President Maia Sandu with several exporters of the country, the presidential press service has reported.

The head of state said that the EU market has become more accessible for Moldovan products thanks to the Free Trade Agreement and the status of candidate country. In 2022, when our economy was dramatically affected by the war across the border, European countries eliminated export quotas for 7 Moldovan products, including apples, plums and cherries, coming to the support of our producers. Last year 65.4% of all Moldovan exports went to the European Union, and the government is working to keep this figure rising.

The EU market is the largest in the world, it is stable and reliable. Greater access to this market will allow our producers to create more well-paid jobs, access technologies, modern equipment and innovations from Europe to increase productivity and profits. Maia Sandu stressed the importance of strengthening the whole society for the European integration of the Republic of Moldova and urged entrepreneurs to talk to people about the European path to stability and prosperity.
