The Government has approved the draft law on the ratification of the Treaty between Romania and Moldova on the state border regime, on collaboration and mutual assistance in border issues.
"The Treaty is a technical document regulating the way the frontier is marked on site, the settlement of issues related to building joint projects on the border, border marks maintenance, the setting up and functioning of a Joint Commission to verify the tracing of the state frontier and the maintenance of border marks, the utilization of border waters, railways, roads and other cross-border communication installations", stated the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Teodor Baconschi, in the Executive's meeting.
The bill will be submitted for consideration and adoption by the Parliament in emergency procedure.
The conclusion of such a document creates the necessary framework for the bilateral cooperation on border issues between the competent authorities of both Parties, currently this cooperation being hampered because of the lack of appropriate mechanisms and procedures, according to a Government press release.
Negotiations to finalize the text of this document have been conducted since 2003 and have been completed with the signing of the Treaty between Romania and the Republic of Moldova on the regime of the state border, on collaboration and mutual assistance in border-related matters, on November 8, 2010, in Bucharest, by the Romanian Foreign Minister, Teodor Baconschi and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, Vlad Filat.
