COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2022/2417
of 26 July 2022
on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91, in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2022/1165 (2) the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road (the ‘Agreement’) was signed on 29 June 2022, subject to its conclusion at a later date. |
(2) |
In view of the important disruptions in the transport sector in the Republic of Moldova caused by the war of aggression undertaken by Russia against Ukraine, it is necessary for operators from the Republic of Moldova to find alternative transit routes by road through the European Union and to find new markets to export their goods. |
(3) |
Given that permits granted in the framework of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport multilateral quota system within the International Transport Forum and existing bilateral agreements with the Republic of Moldova do not allow for the necessary flexibility for road haulage operators from the Republic of Moldova to plan ahead for and increase their operations through and with the Union, it is crucial to liberalise the transport of freight by road for bilateral operations as well as for transit. |
(4) |
In view of the exceptional and unique circumstances that necessitate the signature, provisional application and conclusion of the Agreement, and in accordance with the Treaties, it is appropriate for the Union to exercise temporarily the relevant shared competence conferred upon it by the Treaties. Any effect of this Decision on the division of competences between the Union and the Member States should be strictly limited in time. The competence exercised by the Union on the basis of this Decision and of the Agreement should therefore only be exercised with respect to the period of application of the Agreement. Accordingly, the shared competence thus exercised will cease to be exercised by the Union as soon as the Agreement ceases to apply. Without prejudice to other Union measures, and subject to compliance with those Union measures, that competence will, in accordance with Article 2(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), again be exercised by the Member States thereafter. Furthermore, it is recalled that, as set out in Protocol No 25 on the exercise of shared competence annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the TFEU, the scope of the exercise of the competence of the Union in this Decision covers only those elements governed by this Decision and the Agreement and does not cover the whole area. The exercise of Union competence by this Decision is without prejudice to the respective competences of the Union and of the Member States in relation to any ongoing or future negotiations for, or signature or conclusion of, international agreements with any other third country in that area. |
(5) |
The Agreement should be approved on behalf of the Union, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road is hereby approved on behalf of the Union (3).
Article 2
-
1.The exercise of Union competence pursuant to this Decision and the Agreement shall be limited to the period of application of the Agreement. Without prejudice to other Union measures, and subject to compliance...
