Euromonitor, no.21

A modest progress was observed in the area of human rights, while planned actions are implemented with delay. The efforts in the justice reforms were concentrated on adopting some strategic documents and working out draft legislative and normative acts, but their promotion and adoption are late. A moderate progress was observed in the reforms of the Central Public Administration and Local Public Administration, mostly related to the adoption of some legislative-normative documents and discussion of some draft strategic documents. No major progress was observed in the area of trade statistics and consolidation of administrative capacities. A reasonable progress was observed in the area of tariff and nontariff barriers, as important actions were implemented in due time. Although only three actions were planned in the area of sanitary and phytosanitary standards, just one of them was successfully completed – drafting a food security strategy of Moldova. In the area of financial services, a pretty good progress was generally observed, as competent authorities succeeded to respect the preset action plan.
