Questions on the Free Trade Agreement with Moldova

The free trade agreement with Moldova improves market access for the trade in goods and services. It also includes provisions on the protection of intellectual property, public procurement, trade and sustainable development. Furthermore, it is the first EFTA free trade agreement to include a section on e-commerce.

New trade conditions and customs benefits for companies
