"Mr President, there is ample proof that Moldova’s commitment to European values and standards is genuine and effective.
Moldova is actually the best example of implementing pro-European policies among our Eastern neighbours. In actual fact, Moldova’s euro-credentials make it fully compatible with Western Balkan states.
The positive precedent set by Moldova should be acknowledged and encouraged. The deterioration of democratic institutions in neighbouring Ukraine increases the importance of Moldova for the EU's policies on its eastern flank. In this context, it is vital that the general elections on 28 November confirm Moldova’s continued drive towards European integration.
It is indeed high time for the EU to send a positive signal to Moldova and the Moldovans. Thousands of Moldovan families are divided by a visa barrier. The EU-Moldova visa dialogue presents us with a huge opportunity. This dialogue should enter an operational phase. Let us hope that the Foreign Affairs Council on 25 October will invite the Commission to draw up an action plan for visa liberalisation. A pro-European, integrated Moldova would have a beneficial effect on the EU’s eastern frontier, where weak governance and unsolved conflicts are a continuous threat to European stability."@en1
