The CC has determined that the European integration of Moldova can be elevated to the status of a strategic objective, with the requisite constitutional amendments

The European integration of Moldova could be elevated to the status of a constitutionally enshrined strategic objective. On Tuesday, 16 April, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova delivered a ruling on the notification regarding the unfolding of the referendum on joining the EU.

“The initiative to revise the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova by referendum is by the provisions of Article 134, paragraph 1, letter b of the Constitution. The initiative is by the established review time limits. (…)The proposed constitutional revision does not exceed the scope of permissible constitutional amendments and may be submitted to the Parliament for consideration,” said Dominica Manole.

A group of 46 MPs from the Action and Solidarity Party submitted a complaint to the High Court. The draft amendment of the supreme law, which is to be completed with the following provisions, states that:

“The accession of the Republic of Moldova to the constitutive treaties of the European Union, as well as the accession to the acts of revision of the constitutive treaties of the European Union, shall be established by the Parliament by organic law. Furthermore, by the provisions of the accession act, the provisions of the constitutive treaties of the European Union, as well as the other binding Community regulations, shall take precedence over the contrary provisions of the internal laws following accession.”
