Moldova exported under preferential conditions 153.4 thousand dekalitres of wine to the EU member states during the past three months
During March 7 and May 7, 2008, Moldovan wine companies exported 153.4 thousand dekalitres of wine to the EU countries. Thus, the export of wines under the preferential conditions was used in the proportion of about 26% from the quota of 600,000 dekalitres offered by the EU to Moldova for this year.
The main export markets for the Moldovan wine products were Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
From the effective date, on 7 March 2008, of the Regulation on management of tariff quotas for the export of goods to the EU, the Ministry of Economy and Trade provided free of charge 142 licenses to 22 wine companies.
The press service of the Ministry of Economy and Trade specifies that the major share in the export of wines to the EU market comes to the following companies: Vinaria-Bostavan (42.4 thousand dekalitres), Asconi SRL (22.2 thousand dekalitres) and DK-INTERTRADE SRL (13.5 thousand dekalitres).
As to the sugar export to the EU countries, the ministry specifies that during March 7–May 7, 2008, it issued about 182 licenses, based on which 3,620 tonnes of sugar have been exported, which constitutes about 24% of the total offered for white sugar export under the preferential regime in 2008. The quota offered to Moldova is of 15,000 tonnes for this year.
The main sugar exporters in this period were Sudzucker Moldova SA (2,920 tonnes) and Marr Sugar Moldova SRL (700 tonnes). White sugar export was carried out exclusively to Romania.
Moldova enjoys the Autonomous Trade Preferences (ATP) as of 1 March 2008. In particular, the Regulation of the EU Council sets out a mechanism of distribution of quotas for the export of products originating from Moldova to the EU countries for which tariff quotas have been established. This new trade regime provides duty free and quota free access of all products originating from Moldova on the EU market, except a limited number of agricultural products that are extremely sensitive on the EU internal market. // BASA-Press
