According to the draft, foreign personnel will operate under the coordination of Moldovan authorities and are required to comply with the laws of the Republic of Moldova. Documents regarding joint operations will specify the purpose, location, and duration of the operation, as well as the resources involved and the authorities granted to personnel.
The draft also provides for mutual assistance in the event of mass gatherings, natural disasters, or serious accidents with cross-border implications. Such assistance may include the exchange of information, coordination of measures, and the deployment of personnel and equipment.
In addition, rules are established for the carrying and use of weapons, ammunition, and equipment by police officers from participating states—in accordance with Moldovan law and under the supervision of the competent authorities.
The new law will also regulate the exchange of information with law enforcement agencies of EU member states. Plans are in place to establish a Single Point of Contact for international police cooperation.
The bill also establishes a legal framework for automated facial image searches, as well as for the exchange of information on travel documents, visas, and other documents reported as stolen, lost, invalid, or counterfeit.
The law is set to take effect six months after its publication in the “Official Gazette.” The bill is currently under review by standing parliamentary committees.
