According to Aftenposten, all applications for the export of defence products to the Republic of Moldova will be subject to the same strict control procedures as applications for exports to Ukraine. The products may only be supplied to state authorities in the Republic of Moldova, and each application will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Norwegian companies will be able to apply to the Directorate for Export Control and Sanctions (DEKSA) for licences to export defence products to end-users in the Republic of Moldova.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Moldova has welcomed this decision.
“The Ministry of Defence welcomes the decision by the Government of the Kingdom of Norway to stand alongside the Republic of Moldova and appreciates the ongoing commitment of our Norwegian partners to our country’s security. The assistance announced today represents another important step forward in our journey to modernise our defence capabilities in support of peace, stability and the safety of our citizens,” the Ministry of Defence’s statement reads.
The Ministry states that the assistance announced today represents “another important step forward in the process of modernising our country’s defence capabilities in support of peace, stability and the safety of our citizens”.
Since 2022, Norway has provided the Republic of Moldova with approximately 2.5 billion Norwegian kroner in the form of civilian assistance under the Nansen Programme for Ukraine. At the same time, all military support for the Republic of Moldova will be funded from Norway’s regular defence budget, rather than from the Nansen Programme.
