The European Commission, the European Court of Auditors, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) will be able to carry out checks and audits. They will be granted access to public institutions, documents and necessary data within the limits of the legislation in force and international commitments undertaken by the Republic of Moldova.
The verification of the recipients of the funds will also include a comparison with national and European sanctions lists in order to exclude the involvement of persons and entities under international restrictions.
The aim of these measures is to ensure transparent, efficient and targeted use of the European funding, as well as control over the implementation of reforms and investment projects envisaged within the EU support program.
It is noted that the introduction of such control mechanisms is a key condition for the continuation of financial support from the European Union and further receipt of tranches under the program of reforms and economic growth.
