LEGISLATIVE ASPECTS OF AGROECOLOGICAL PRODUCTION

The Republic of Moldova has an enormous potential of exploiting the ecological
agricultural and genetic modified food products. Consumers, especially of EU market, have
demanded both the conformity of products in regard to harmless effects and additional
requirements for the quality.
In this view, in the RM the Law on ecological agri-food products, 6 Governmental
Decisions, 5 Presidential Decrees, 1 Ministerial Order and several standards were passed. The
basic principles of ecological agrifood production have been proposed for adoption.
Consumers, especially those on European Union markets, don’t ask only the guarantees of
confirmation of products and of harmlessness in consumption, but solicit additional
confirmations concerning their quality, including ensurance that the products which they
consume are pure ecological and genetic unmodified.
For that reason, The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova adopted the law “Concerning
ecological agrifood products” which anticipates settlement of social reports that are under to
obtain ecological agrifood products without using the unending chemical substances,
inclusively commercialization of ecological food products of vegetal and animal origin. Some
general principles of ecological agrifood products were proposed.
