DECISION No X/2023
OF THE EU-MOLDOVA ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE
IN TRADE CONFIGURATION

of xxx 2023

amending Annex XXVIII-B (Rules applicable to telecommunication services), and Annex XXVIII-C (Rules applicable to postal and courier services),
to the Association Agreement
between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community
and their Member States, of the one part,
and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part

THE ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE IN TRADE CONFIGURATION (hereafter referred to as the “Trade Committee”),

Having regard to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Moldova, of the other part, and in particular Articles 102, 230 and 240 thereof,

Having regard to Decision No 3/2014 of the European Union-Republic of Moldova Association Council of 16 December 2014 on the delegation of certain powers by the Association Council to the Association Committee in Trade configuration,

Whereas:

(1)The Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part (the 'Agreement') entered into force on 1 July 2016.

(2)Article 1(2), point (g), of the Agreement provides that the aim of the Agreement is, inter alia, to establish conditions for enhanced economic and trade relations leading towards the Republic of Moldova's gradual integration in the EU internal market as stipulated in the Agreement, including by setting up a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, which will provide for far-reaching regulatory approximation and market access liberalisation, in compliance with the rights and obligations arising out of WTO membership and the transparent application of those rights and obligations. 

(3)Article 102 of the Agreement provides that Moldova shall carry out approximation of its legislation to the EU acts and international instruments referred to in Annex XXVIII-B to this Agreement, according to the provisions of that Annex.

(4)Article 230 of the Agreement provides that Moldova shall carry out approximation of its legislation to the EU acts and international instruments referred to in Annex XXVIII-C to this Agreement, according to the provisions of that Annex.

(5)Moldova has requested further market access liberalisation with regards to roaming.

(6)Rules on roaming form part of the EU telecommunications acquis, but were not included in Annex XXVIII-B (Rules applicable to telecommunication services) when the Agreement was concluded. Therefore, Annex XXVIII-B should be complemented by the relevant EU acts relating to roaming.

(7)At the current stage of economic and legal development of the EU internal market related to telecommunications services, the relevant EU acts for roaming are the following: Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (recast) (“EECC”), Regulation (EU) 2022/612 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 April 2022 on roaming on public mobile communications networks within the Union (recast), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2286 laying down detailed rules on the application of fair use policy and on the methodology for sustainability derogations, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/654 supplementing Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council by setting a single maximum Union-wide mobile voice termination rate and a single maximum Union-wide fixed voice termination rate, and Regulation (EU) 2018/1971 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) and the Agency for Support for BEREC (BEREC Office), amending Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1211/2009.

(8)Article 1(4) of Regulation (EU) 2022/612 and Articles 3(2) and 3(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/654 refer to reference exchange rates published by the European Central Bank in the Official Journal of the European Union. The European Central Bank does not publish exchange rates for the Moldovan leu at present. An adaptation is therefore needed with respect to those provisions to provide for the use of the exchange rates between the euro and the Moldovan leu published by the National Bank of Moldova for as long as the European Central Bank does not publish exchange rates for the Moldovan leu.

(9)In addition, the Union acquis referred to in Annex XXVIII-B has evolved since the last update of the Annex of 4 October 2019 and the Union acquis referred to in Annex XXVIII-C has evolved since the entry into force of the Agreement.

(10)It is therefore necessary to update and amend Annexes XXVIII-B and XXVIII-C to the Agreement by adding the acts mentioned under points (7) and (9) to Annexes XXVIII-B and XXVIII-C of the Agreement and deleting certain acts which they replace.

(11)On 16 December 2014 the Association Council, by means of Decision No 3/2014, delegated to the Association Committee in Trade configuration, as referred to in Article 438(3) of the Agreement, the power to update or amend certain trade-related Annexes to the Agreement.

(12)Once Moldova considers that a particular EU legal act has been properly enacted and implemented, Moldova will submit the relevant transposition tables, together with an official English translation of the implementing Moldovan legal act, to the EU co-secretary of the Association Committee in Trade configuration,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annex XXVIII-B (Rules applicable to telecommunication services) to the Agreement is hereby amended as set out in Annex 1 to this Decision.

Article 2

Annex XXVIII-C (Rules applicable to postal and courier services) to the Agreement is hereby amended as set out in Annex 2 to this Decision.
