The agenda is also likely to include the draft law on public sector pay and the Agreement on technical and military cooperation with Ukraine.
The forthcoming sitting marks the start of a tense final phase of the autumn session: by the end of the year, the legislature must pass around 150 bills. This workload is dictated by the negotiation process with the European Union and the need to fulfil international commitments within tight deadlines.
The opposition’s stance: the risk of a decline in quality
The fast pace of the legislative process is drawing criticism from opposition factions. MPs point out that Parliament has adopted the practice of ‘assembly-line voting’, whereby voluminous and technically complex documents are adopted without proper scrutiny.
According to MP Elena Grițco, labelling a bill as ‘European’ effectively exempts it from detailed debate: ‘If we have ten bills bearing the EU logo on the agenda, all ten will be voted on without even getting to the heart of the matter’.
MP Olga Cebotari points out that there are currently 150 draft laws with the government awaiting subsequent approval by Parliament.
“There are about five sessions left until the end of the year. Even if the sessions are held more frequently, how can 150 laws be passed in five sessions? I cannot imagine how this is possible!” — said Olga Cebotari.
“Every law passed brings us closer to the EU”
The ruling party states that the intensive work schedule is dictated by the historic goal of EU accession and the need to adhere to the reform timetable agreed with Brussels.
Speaking on 9 November 2026 at an extraordinary session of Parliament, in the presence of the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, the Speaker of Parliament, Igor Grosu, outlined the priorities of the current parliamentary term: “This Parliament will be the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova’s European integration into the European Union. We will continue to work to ensure that every law adopted brings us closer to the EU. Our country’s place is in the EU; we have no better path.”
