ANNEX 6
JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING DENMARK
The Contracting Parties take note that this Agreement does not apply to the territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, nor to nationals of the Kingdom of Denmark. In such circumstances it is appropriate that the Republic of Moldova and Denmark conclude a readmission agreement in the same terms as this Agreement.
JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING ICELAND
The Contracting Parties take note of the close relationship between the European Community and Iceland, particularly by virtue of the Agreement of 18 May 1999 concerning the association of this country with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. In such circumstances it is appropriate that the Republic of Moldova concludes a readmission agreement with Iceland in the same terms as this Agreement.
JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING NORWAY
The Contracting Parties take note of the close relationship between the European Community and Norway, particularly by virtue of the Agreement of 18 May 1999 concerning the association of this country with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. In such circumstances it is appropriate that the Republic of Moldova brings into conformity the readmission agreement with Norway signed on 31 March 2005 with the terms of the present Agreement.
JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING SWITZERLAND
The Contracting Parties take note that the European Union, the European Community and Switzerland signed an agreement on Switzerland's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. It is appropriate, once this association agreement enters into force, that the Republic of Moldova brings into conformity the readmission agreement with Switzerland signed on 6 November 2003 with the terms of the present Agreement.
JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING ARTICLES 3(1) AND 5(1)
The Parties agree that a person is ‘entering directly’ from the territory of Moldova within the meaning of these provisions if such person arrived on the territory of the Member States without having entered a third-country in between, or, where the Requested State is one of the Member States, arrived on the territory of Moldova, without having entered a third-country in between. Airside transit stays in a third country shall not be considered as entry.
JOINT DECLARATION ON TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Both Parties agree to implement this Agreement based on the principles of joint responsibility, solidarity and an equal partnership to manage the migratory flows between Moldova and the EU.
In this context, the EC is committed to make available financial resources in order to support Moldova in the implementation of this Agreement. In doing so, special attention will be devoted to capacity building. Such support is to be provided in the context of the overall priorities for assistance in favour of Moldova, as part of the overall funding available for Moldova and in full respect of the relevant implementation rules and procedures of EC external assistance.
