The draft law, approved by the Government and submitted to Parliament, provides for cooperation in disaster prevention, preparedness and the management of the consequences of natural and man-made disasters.
The document sets out the Republic of Moldova’s participation in several specific EU instruments:
- ERCC – the Emergency Response Coordination Centre, through which international aid in the event of disasters is coordinated.
- CECIS – the Common Emergency Communication and Information System for emergency situations between participating states.
- ECPP – the European Civil Protection Pool, which brings together the resources and capabilities of Member States to provide assistance.
- rescEU – the EU’s reserve of additional capacities for responding to major emergencies.
The project aims not only to manage the consequences of disasters, but also to prevent them and prepare for emergencies. It provides for joint cross-border actions, the exchange of scientific knowledge, increasing public preparedness and improving cooperation between public institutions.
The draft was drawn up as part of the Republic of Moldova’s National Programme for EU Accession. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for presenting it to Parliament.
