Key points

The measure aims to support the Moldovan economy, which has been severely harmed by trade disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Temporary duty-free quotas will be introduced for seven specific agricultural products to facilitate easier access to the EU market.
The targeted products include tomatoes, garlic, table grapes, apples, cherries, plums, and grape juice.
For certain products like plums and table grapes, the regulation redirects trade volumes that were previously sent to third markets such as Russia and Belarus.
