During the working sessions, experts and agency representatives discussed the differences between the accreditation criteria applicable to the payment agencies in the European Union Member States and the criteria for the agencies of the countries responsible for managing the IPARD program funds. The discussions were also aimed at improving the AIPA Accreditation Plan, which is to be approved in the near future, as well as planning the necessary steps for its implementation.
This mission once again confirms the urgent need to strengthen AIPA’s human resources and information systems, as they are the most important criteria in the accreditation process of the agency, as well as one of the key actions for the integration of the Republic of Moldova into the European Union.
