Deepening EU-Moldovan Relations - What, Why and How?

This handbook explains in readily comprehensible language what the new Association Agreement between the European Union and Moldova means in legal, political and economic terms. This treaty is a milestone in the history of Moldova's place in Europe, and definitively marks the country's post-Soviet independence. It also is a new model treaty for the EU's relations with its closest neighbours.
