Summary/Abstract: Next Tuesday, February 7 2017, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Igor Dodon, is expected in Brussels on his first visit to the European Union since his election in November 2016. Dodon pursues an openly “pro-Russian” policy directed against the Association Agreement with the EU, which has been in force since July 2016. The agreement contains the Agreement on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, which opens full access to the EU market for almost all Moldovan goods, and at the same time time, Moldova is given 10 years to abolish tariffs on imports from the EU.
