point in the future to any of the countries covered by the ENP, this would be a separate
process. The main purpose is to develop free trading between EU and Eastern Partnership
Countries and develop democratical views in Eastern Partnership Countries. One of the
countries which I belive has opportunity some day to join EU is Moldova. The Republic of
Moldova actively pursues EU membership, but it is poorer than any other European country
and has to resolve issues over its break away region of Transinistra before it can join.
Nevertheless, the EU is developing an increasingly close relationship with Moldova, going
beyond co-operation, to gradual economic integration and a deepening of political co-
operation. I do not think that the criteria should prepare countries to join the EU due to the
fact that it would include Belarus, which is very undemocratic etc. I believe that the ENP and
criteria for the candidate countries may be similare but they should not serve the same target,
