Convergence of the Transport Sector of the Republic of Moldova towards European Union Standards
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
This study assesses how far the transport sector of the Republic of Moldova has converged with and integrated into the European system, both operationally and in terms of major regulations and standards. It examines the sector's current situation and development prospects in the context of European integration.
The author analyses the main formal and informal barriers that hinder faster development of the national transport system and its integration into the European area. The study sets out the key principles underlying the EU acquis in transport and identifies the progress made, as well as the gaps Moldova still has in converging towards European transport standards.
The conclusions are structured around the competitive diamond of the Moldovan transport sector. The analysis of constraints finds that the main ones for the sector are the existing road and railway infrastructure, the business climate, and the regional economic and political situation.
