How does this Agreement compare to what you have agreed with Ukraine or Georgia? Did Moldova get a better deal?

The DCFTA with Moldova is based on the same model that the EU put forward to its Eastern Partners, i.e. the scope and parameters as regards the liberalisation of trade and reforms. But details differ from partner to partner, as each country has its specific trade policy, own degree of liberalisation, sensitive interests and sectors, and economic development path. These factors had to be taken into account and a dialogue with the partner, to set the most appropriate parameters, was at the core of negotiations. By means of example: the Moldovan timetable and scope of liberalisation of import duties on goods is more generous on the whole than that of Ukraine, but certainly less open than that of Georgia.
