The European Parliament has adopted the report on the Moldova Facility, worth 1.8 billion euros, MEP Siegfried Muresan announced.
Following negotiations in the European legislature, lawmakers proposed increasing pre-financing from 7% to 20% of the total amount.
“These funds will quickly reach Moldova once the Facility takes effect. Since the Facility is worth 1.8 billion euros, each additional percentage point means an extra 18 million euros arriving in Moldova sooner,” Muresan said.
He emphasized that an agreement was reached to adopt the Facility without delays and under favorable conditions for Moldova’s authorities and citizens.
