The assistance will help Moldova make progress on the path to European integration and implement the European partnership and neighborhood project, Minister of State Victor Bodiu said during an information seminar on February 23, Info-Prim Neo reports. The Head of the European Commission's Delegation to Moldova Dick Schuebel said Moldova has efficiently used the TAIEX instrument since 2007, when the project was launched. He stressed that the project should be extended and its role should be increased as it can contribute to the achievement of the Government's objectives. The EU's representative in the TAIEX project Bernd Wild said European experts will come to Moldova to work out guidebooks on the admission int the EU.
