The members of the Council will be able to monitor the sanctions applied by the Republic of Moldova, inform the persons concerned about them if the measures are imposed by the authorities of our country, and communicate the reasons for the decisions taken. Regularly, but at least once a year, they will ensure the review of the situation of the restricted persons and decide on the necessity to lift the measures.
The draft allows the Council to request information from the authorities of other countries and to obtain, on an urgent basis, from the institutions of the Republic of Moldova the data necessary to fulfill its tasks.
