Chisinau, 26 November /MOLDPRES/ - Italy ratified the Association Agreement between Moldova and the European Union today. This is the last country to do this out of all the 28 EU member states. The head of the Foreign and European Integration Ministry's press service, Ana Taban, has confirmed the news for MOLDPRES.

This allows the full entrance into force of the Association Agreement starting from the first day of the second month after the last ratification instrument is submitted to the EU Council's General Secretariat.

Moldova started enforcing the Association Agreement on 1 September 2014.

The Association Agreement between Moldova and the European Union was signed on 27 June 2014 and the Moldovan parliament ratified this document on 2 July, the same year. Each EU member state had to fulfill this procedure.
