Statement by the European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood

March 10, 2006.

    Policy, Dr. Benita Ferrero-Waldner
    The Commission is following closely developments on the border between Ukraine and Moldova. The EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine is present on the ground, and constantly monitors the situation.
    The Commission appreciates the determination with which Ukraine and Moldova are putting in place the necessary measures to implement the Joint Declaration on customs matters that Prime Ministers Yekhanurov and Tarlev issued on 30 December 2005. The Commission notes that the purpose of these measures is to ensure transparency of border operations, allowing any legitimate goods to pass the border between Ukraine and Moldova freely. These measures do not in any way constitute a blockade. The Commission recalls that a similar arrangement was in place between Ukraine and Moldova from May 2003 until August 2004, and did not lead to any problems. The Commission condemns any efforts by the self-proclaimed Transnistrian authorities to hamper the legitimate movement of goods across the Ukrainian – Moldovan State border and to impede registration of economic operators with the Moldovan authorities.
    We will continue to watch developments closely. The EU Border Assistance Mission will continue to provide advice to the countries concerned on the implementation of the Joint Declaration and remains available to assist in tackling any questions that may arise in this context.
