Paragraph 1
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 1. Commends Moldova’s exemplary commitment and steady progress with EU accession-related reforms despite significant internal and external challenges – such as Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine – which made it possible for accession negotiations to start in June 2024, half a year after the relevant decision by the European Council on 14 December 2023 and less than two years after the country’s application for EU membership on 3 March 2022; | 1. Acknowledges Moldova’s stated commitment and the progress made on EU accession-related reforms despite internal and external challenges, which made it possible for accession negotiations to start in June 2024; takes note of the reform efforts undertaken, but stresses that alternative forms of structured cooperation should be explored which do not necessarily lead to full EU membership; |

Welcomes the Commission’s Moldova Growth Plan, which is aimed at supporting Moldova’s socio-economic and fundamental reforms and enhancing access to the EU’s single market; welcomes the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova, which underpins the Growth Plan and is worth EUR 2.02 billion, making it the largest EU financial support package for Moldova since its independence; underlines that this facility provides Moldova with EUR 520 million in non-repayable support and a maximum amount of EUR 1.5 billion in loans, with an 18 % pre-financing rate, demonstrating the EU’s recognition of the urgency of supporting Moldova’s reforms and resilience; calls on the Commission to support the Moldovan authorities in implementing the necessary Reform Agenda for the effective absorption of funds from this facility, ensuring that the benefits of this support are promptly felt by Moldova’s citizens; looks forward to the announced impact assessment of the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova in the form of a Commission staff working document within three months of the adoption of the corresponding regulation; | 7. Regrets, at a time when European citizens are facing economic hardship, the creation of the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova, worth EUR 2.02 billion; calls for strict conditionality, full transparency, and independent audit mechanisms to ensure that funds are effectively spent and not misused or diverted to politically motivated structures; |
