Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

Expert-Grup held a roundtable to discuss priorities for reforming Moldova's legal framework for entrepreneurship. The event took place as the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation launched public consultations on a draft new law on entrepreneurship.

The discussion centred on the findings, observations and proposals in the opinion prepared by Dumitru Pintea, associate expert at Expert-Grup, with the aim of securing a modern, coherent and functional law that meets the needs of local business. Dorian Istratii, Vice-Chair of the Parliament's Economy, Budget and Finance Committee, said businesses want legislation that simplifies rather than complicates processes, and noted that all legislation must be aligned with the EU by the end of 2027. He warned that rushed reforms without solid grounding and debate can lead to blockages or reversals. Ministry representatives stressed the limits of current legislation and the need for legal coherence.

The event was part of the project "Civil Society for European Integration", funded by the EU and co-funded by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Moldova.
