EU and Moldova enhance digital cooperation for better resilience in strategic areas | Shaping Europe's digital future
The European Commission welcomes the deepening of the digital cooperation between Moldova and the EU. This includes steps to enhance cybersecurity, tackle misinformation, and include Moldova in the EU roaming area.
The Council's authorisation to use the EU Cybersecurity Reserve for Moldova marks a key advancement in regional security and EU-Moldova digital cooperation under the EU's Cyber Solidarity Act. This first successful cyber agreement reached under the Danish Presidency helps addressing major cybersecurity incidents. It is a significant achievement in the Commission's efforts to deepen digital cooperation and boost the security of both Moldova and the EU, as outlined in the Joint EU-Moldova Declaration.
The Commission also welcomes the political agreement for Moldova to join the ‘Roam Like at Home' area. Following the formal adoption, Moldova will become the second country, after Ukraine, to join the EU roaming area. This will enable Moldovan citizens and EU travellers to call, text, and use mobile data without incurring additional charges. Additionally, Moldova joins the EU Third Countries' Trusted List for validation of electronic signatures from non-EU countries. This allows easy validation of signatures and seals from EU organisations and citizens, making it easier for EU and Moldovan companies and citizens to do business together.
Finally, to strengthen societal resilience against foreign interference and disinformation in the region, a new hub of the European Digital Media Observatory, FACT, has been established with the Commission's support.
