Summary/Abstract: The Association Agreement (AA) between the Republic of Moldova and the EU, signed in 2014, ratified by the parties in 2015, entered into force definitively on January 1, 2016. Economic integration is an important part of this Agreement, and involves the creation of an area of Free Deep and Comprehensive Trade (DCFTA) between Moldova and the EU. // A special feature of this Agreement is the fact that Moldova signed the AA with an unresolved secessionist conflict with the Transnistrian region. In turn, the distinguishing feature of the Transnistrian conflict is the fact that stable trade relations have been established between the two parties to the conflict, wich in the last two years have shown an increasing trend. Due to their small size and dependence on imports of basic factors of production, the economies of Moldova and the Transnistrian region are particularly interested in a development of foreign trade activities and an increase in their trade capacity. The implementation of AA and DCFTA, with technical support from the EU, contributes to institutional modernization, refurbishment and increasing the competitiveness of exports on both banks of the Dniester.
