EU4Environment virtual consultation with the Republic of Moldova

The start of 2020 brought an unprecedented global challenge: the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), classed by the WHO as a global pandemic. Despite this challenging period, activities envisaged under the EU4Environment Work plans have been implemented.

On 29 May 2020, the EU4Environment Implementing Partners, jointly with the Ministries of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment and of Economy and Infrastructure of the Republic of Moldova, held a virtual consultation. The objectives of the meeting on 29 May 2020 were to:

review the in-country situation in light of COVID-19;
present progress with EU4Environment implementation in each EaP country;
discuss plans for the rest of the year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
discuss options for organising the Regional Assembly meeting in the second half of 2020.

Participants included National Focal Points from the Ministries of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment and of Economy and Infrastructure, National Action Coordinators, representatives of the European Commission (DG NEAR, DG ENV and DG CLIMA), EU Delegation in the Republic of Moldova and the Implementing Partners (OECD, UNEP, UNECE and UNIDO).
