Corina Crețu: The Republic of Moldova is ready to start negotiations for joining the European Union
The Republic of Moldova is ready to start negotiations for joining the European Union at the very beginning of next year. The statement was made by Corina Crețu, MEP from Romania, during the show "In Context" on Moldova 1 TV.
The MEP claims that the Republic of Moldova is supported by Romania, but also by the European Commission, and the proof is the speech of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, a few days ago, who declared that the place of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine is in the European Union.
"There are many criteria to be met in order to become a member state of the European Union. The first step is to start the negotiations and as you said on October 3rd we will discuss in the plenary session in Strasbourg the reports and the reforms made by the Republic of Moldova during its European path and as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament I will request to have the floor and say that the Republic of Moldova is ready to start the negotiations at the beginning of next year", pointed out MEP Corina Crețu for Moldova 1 TV.
