Summary/Abstract: In this article we aim to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the legislative and normative framework at the stage of transposition of EU standards on water quality management, identification of gaps in the institutional framework and the coordination mechanism existing at the moment. The new Law on drinking water quality will establish the legal and organizational bases for the evaluation of drinking water, as well as the measures by the authorities responsible for ensuring the compliance of the drinking water quality. The purpose of the law is to ensure sustainable compliance with the quality of drinking water by creating a flexible and transparent legal framework, as well as by promoting adequate risk management. It is noted that the future development of the environmental legislation of the Republic of Moldova requires, in particular, an understanding on which the principles of EU environmental law are based, the links that follow its development and the sources it covers.
