International Consultant on Legal Framework for the Roadworthiness Tests for Motor Vehicles and their Trailers - Chisinau
Relations between the Republic of Moldova (RM) and the European Union (EU) formally started with the signing of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) in 1994 that entered into force in 1998. The PCA established the basic principles of cooperation between RM and EU and was designed for a 10 year period.
The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement will soon be replaced by an Association Agreement which includes a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA). The documents provide for political association and economic integration and have been initialed in Vilnius in November 2013.
For the Republic of Moldova the AA represents a reform agenda which is based on a comprehensive program of legal harmonization with EU norms.
Exceeding the classical arrangements of free trade, DCFTA provides not only a mutual opening of markets for most goods and services but requires a gradual rapprochement of norms and standards such as quality standards and rules, sanitary rules, intellectual property rights, trade facilitation, public procurement and competition, energy trade and other.
Except for European Economic Area and EU candidate states, never before has the EU opened its internal market to such an extent to a third country. This reality is possible due to the commitment of the Republic of Moldova to take over the acquis communautaire.
In exchange to effective implementation of EU legislation Moldova will gradually become part of the EU internal market.
A deeper economic integration through DCFTA will boost the country's economic growth, will create business opportunities and promote real economic modernization and integration into the EU. The direct result of establishing free trade area with EU is that citizens will benefit from higher quality and safer goods and services while manufacturers will be supported to access international markets.
UNDP and its international partners are committed to assist Moldova, through technical and financial assistance, in promoting costly legal and institutional reforms that DCFTA entails.
The Project “Building Institutional Capacity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MFAEI)” aims at strengthening the institutional capacity of the MFAEI as lead institution in the AA negotiation process.
In the same context, the Project seeks to contribute to developing EU integration capacities of key line ministries through aligning relevant policies, administrative and institutional arrangements, legislation, procedures and best practices to EU standards and requirements.
Roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers in the Republic of Moldova are performed by 76 vehicle testing centers. All of them are private owned and authorized and supervised by the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure (MTRI) and National Road Transport Agency. The Government Decision Nr.1047 from 8.11.1999 provides legal framework for roadworthiness tests and describes the procedures and requirements.Many of the requirements of the Directive 2009/40/EC are already met in Government Decision Nr.1047. MTRI started to prepare amendments to this Decision and Law Nr.131 on Road Traffic Safety to ensure full compliance with the Directive 2009/40/EC. In addition, there is a need to specify the requirements for the technical condition of vehicles and equipment and the requirements for the assessment because no such requirements are specified in the Moldovan legislation.
Technical assistance to the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure and National Road Transport Agency (hereinafter – the Beneficiaries) is needed to revise existing legislation and draft amendments prepared, revise operational practice of the Beneficiaries and prepare necessary legislative and operational acts for the full compliance with the EU requirements (Directive 2009/40/EC) and best practices in this field.

Over the past years, UN Women has provided support to national and local stakeholders in strengthening democratic governance and advancing women’s rights through initiatives aimed at mainstreaming gender in policy planning and budgeting.
In 2014, UN Women launched the 3-year regional project on Promoting Gender Responsive Policies in South East Europe and Republic of Moldova financed by Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and Swiss Agency Development and Cooperation. It is a direct follow up of the UN Women CSEE regional project “Promoting Gender Responsive Policies in South East Europe” (2011 -2013) that covered Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia. The final evaluation of this project recommended continuation of activities especially with regard to institutional capacity building and increased involvement of key budget actors at the required decision-making levels. UN Women will share more details about the project with the selected consultant.
The purpose of the consultancy is to prepare performance monitoring framework, methodology and guidance for progress data collection in order to enhance accountability, inform decision-making and contribute to learning on the best ways to achieve women’s empowerment and gender equality through operational and normative work. As a member of the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), UN WOMEN follows its norms and standards. UN WOMEN evaluations are gender equality and rights responsive.
