The role of the European Union is huge. It's not only that we have signed this association agreement with the European Union. We see it as a blueprint for our reforms. Actually, it sets up very clear steps that Moldova has to take in order to comply with the European norms and standards and to at some time become eligible for full integration into the European Union.
We are not naive. We understand that there is clear fatigue in terms of EU enlargement, but the association agreement has given us a national objective towards which we are aiming. As part of the 5+2 negotiation format, the European Union is playing an increased role by providing consultancy and trying to engage Transnistrians in the activities that will bring Transnistria to the understanding that a European future is much better for them than what Russia offers.
If anyone would like me to elaborate a little bit more, I would welcome this question. I would really like to speak about what EU does for Transnistria today. This is very important.
May I, Mr. Chair?
