Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area

The Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) is an agreement between the EU and the Republic of Moldova aimed at a preferential trade relationship based on mutually beneficial terms, giving each side better market access.

The Free Trade Agreement aims to phase out import and export duties on trade in goods between the parties. It aims to remove barriers to trade in services and give companies better access to those markets. Free Trade Areas (FTAs) established by the EU in relation to its trading partners usually include a number of areas, which go beyond the usual „trade”. It is a „comprehensive” approach to trade, linked to the fact that trade is no longer decoupled from internal policies on procurement, competition, intellectual property or sustainable development. These issues are therefore included in the DCFTA with the Republic of Moldova.
