03-03-2008
ECNL provided technical assistance to the Parliament and other stakeholders on the proposed amendments before they were adopted.

On July 20, 2007, the Parliament of Moldova enacted amendments to the Law on Public Associations. Together with "Eco-TIRAS", its local partner under the EIDHR project in Moldova, ECNL closely followed the developments on the ground and prepared its comments on the recently adopted amendments.

Originally enacted in 1996, the Law on Public Associations regulates one of the two organizational forms of NGOs in Moldova, those being associations and foundations. Through participation in a parliamentary seminar in June 2007, and through the submission of written comments, ECNL provided technical assistance to the Parliament and other stakeholders.
