DECISIONNo 1/2025 OF THE EU-MOLDOVA ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE IN TRADE
CONFIGURATION
of 19 September 2025
on the reduction and elimination of customs duties pursuant to Article 147(4) of the Association
Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their
Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part [2025/1961]
THE EU-MOLDOVA ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE IN TRADE CONFIGURATION,
Having regard to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community
and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part(1), and in particular
Article 147(4) and Article 438(3) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their
Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part (the ‘Agreement’) was signed on
27 June 2014, has been provisionally applied as of 1 September 2014 and fully entered into force on 1 July 2016.
(2) Article 147(4) of the Agreement established that, after the entry into force of the Agreement, the Parties may agree to
consider accelerating and broadening the scope of the elimination of customs duties on trade between the Parties. A
decision of the Association Committee in Trade Configuration, on the acceleration or elimination of a customs duty
on a good shall supersede any duty rate or staging category determined pursuant to Annex XV to the Agreement.
(3) Following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the European Union adopted unilateral trade liberalisation
measures for Moldova through its Autonomous Trade Measures (ATMs) of 18 July 2022(2), which were renewed
in 2023(3)and 2024(4). Following the expiry of the ATMs on 24 July 2025, discussions between the parties have
resulted in their agreement to broaden the scope of elimination of customs duties and support Moldova’s alignment
to the Union acquis which is an important part of Moldova’s accession negotiations with the Union.
(4) The Parties aim to further broaden the scope of the elimination of customs duties under the Agreement. It is therefore
appropriate to set out each Party’s commitments to reduce or to eliminate customs duties on originating goods of the
other Party in the Schedules set out in a new Annex XV-E, which will be incorporated into the Agreement and form
an integral part thereof. The Schedules contained in Annex XV-A, XV-B and XV-D to the Agreement will be
superseded by the new Annex XV-E to the Agreement, subject to the conditions set out in Annex XV-E.

(5) The Parties acknowledge the dynamic nature of trade relations between the Union and Moldova with an almost 150
per cent increase in trade since the provisional application of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area of the
Agreement. In view of Moldova’s accession negotiations with the Union, the gradual integration of Moldova into
parts of the Union single market ahead of accession will also continue to strengthen trade relations,
