'The Foreign Affairs Committee as well as the entire Parliament will extend full support for the ratification and adoption of the financial assistance agreement under which the 100 million euros promised by the Romanian Government to bolster the economic development efforts of Moldova will be allocated. I will call on the Romanian Government, the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Finance Ministry to speed up the draft law in Government and send it to Parliament for approval,' said Corlatean.
Corlatean said Moldova's accession to the European Union was also discussed at his meeting with Renita and Romania's support for this process was reiterated. AGERPRES
