The Governments of Moldova and Russia are to sign a protocol on the supply of goods within production cooperation for 2014. The Moldovan executive approved a decision on the initiation of discussions on the issue, IPN reports.

Under an agreement signed with Russia in October 1998, the nomenclature and volume of supplies and the list of economic entities that will supply goods within production cooperation are determined annually by a protocol that is negotiated and signed by the sides.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Valeriu Lazar said that 14 companies from booth banks of the Nistru River have asked to be included in the list this year. Among them are the Chisinau Glass Factory and the Tiraspol factory Electromas. No value added is put on the goods supplied within production cooperation.
