Moldova’s EU integration must bring tangible improvements to citizens’ lives, not just progress in official reports. 2027 is expected to be a key milestone, when adopted reforms and laws should start delivering visible results.

The next stage of European integration should focus not only on adopting legislation but also on implementing it. The results should be felt in areas such as public services, infrastructure, and economic opportunities, argues Marcela Adam, a Member of Parliament from the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS).

"Next year should be a time when the laws we have harmonized and the reforms we are implementing yield direct results—so that people begin to feel closer to the European Union. After all, the best outcome is not one that exists merely on paper, but one that citizens experience in their daily lives," stated Marcela Adam during the program "Bună Dimineața" on Moldova 1 TV.

**Less bureaucracy for businesses**

Reducing bureaucracy and excessive inspections of entrepreneurs is one of the key objectives in aligning national legislation with European standards. According to the MP, the authorities aim to ensure that inspections conducted by state institutions are more transparent and leave no room for abuse.

"This would mean less red tape for entrepreneurs, more predictable and less frequent inspections, and greater transparency in how these inspections are carried out," explained Marcela Adam.

**Investments in schools and support for young people**

Modernizing educational institutions and creating opportunities for young professionals are other areas where the authorities expect to see tangible results stemming from European support. The MP mentioned investments of 50 million euros for 20 model schools and 80 million euros for the modernization of 25 vocational schools.

Marcela Adam also referred to salary support programs for young people employed in strategic sectors, as well as the expansion of dual education, which allows pupils and students to combine their studies with practical experience.

"And, naturally, with our integration into the European Union, we will have the opportunity—and I truly hope this happens—for the Republic of Moldova to attract more investment and more capital into the economy. This, in turn, will lead to more entrepreneurs starting businesses, which directly drives economic growth and creates more jobs," the MP stated.

**Accession negotiations to conclude by 2028**

The conclusion of accession negotiations by 2028, followed by the ratification of the accession treaty by the member states, are the key steps the authorities are counting on to ensure the Republic of Moldova becomes a member of the European Union by 2030.

"We are very hopeful that the goal we have set—to sign the accession treaty in 2028, and subsequently have it ratified by the parliaments of the European Union member states—is an achievable one, even if it is ambitious," the MP declared.

When asked whether the process could be accelerated, Marcela Adam emphasized that the mere adoption of legislation is not enough if it is not effectively implemented. "We can accelerate if we continue to redouble our efforts—if you will, yes? It is also important to stick to the timeline presented to us; however, everything depends—I repeat—on our capacity to implement the reforms. The reforms must be implemented—not just remain on paper—and must begin to yield results," the parliamentarian stated.

These remarks came during a visit to the Republic of Moldova by the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, just days after the European Commission published its EU enlargement report on November 4.

The document notes progress across all 33 negotiating chapters under review, while also highlighting the need for continued reforms—particularly in the areas of the judiciary, anti-corruption efforts, and the strengthening of democratic institutions. To date, the Republic of Moldova has opened four of the six negotiating clusters, and the authorities in Chișinău aim to open the remaining two by the end of 2026.
