HISTORIC EUROREGION SIRET-PRUT-NISTRU Cross-border cooperation within the European Union and the candidate countries has gradually evolved from addressing common issues and socio-cultural cooperation to the development of joint strategies to exploit the common potential. Subsequently, cooperation has been developed at project level to cover the preparation and implementation of EU programs supporting cross-border cooperation in the Member States. The European Union's regulations and guidelines have imposed a necessary structure for the development of cross-border programs and for the management of the implementation of these programs. The legislative framework for carrying out cross-border cooperation actions by Romanian authorities and local communities is ensured by Government Emergency Ordinance (OUG) no. 120/1998 for the ratification by Romania of the European Framework Convention on Cross-Border Cooperation of Communities or Authorities Adopted in Madrid on May 21, 1980. Romania is a party to the European Charter of Local Self-Government, adopted in Strasbourg on 15 October 1985 and ratified by Law 199/1997. In accordance with the provisions of the Madrid Convention, cross-border cooperation aims at strengthening and developing neighborhood relations between municipalities or territorial authorities that depend on two or more Contracting Parties as well as the conclusion of agreements and understandings useful for this purpose. The Siret - Prut - Nistru Euroregion is a permanent structure with its own identity. It was established on 18 September 2002 to facilitate cooperation between three counties in ROMANIA (IAŞI, NEAMŢ AND VASLUI) and initially three counties in the REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA (UNGHENI, LAPUŞNA AND CHISINAU), on 4 December 2002 The same year joined the counties ORHEI and SOROCA (REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA). Thus, the signing of the Cross - border Cooperation Protocol of the Siret - Prut - Nistru Euroregion was held in Iasi on 18 September 2002, while the Siret - Prut - Nistru Euroregion Statute was adopted at the first Euroregion Presidents' Forum on 4 December 2002 in Ungheni, Republic of Moldova. As a result of the administrative-territorial reorganization in 2003, the Republic of Moldova resulted in 18 member raions of the Euroregion: Anenii Noi, Basarabeasca, Calarasi, Cimislia, Criuleni, Dubasari, Floresti, Hancesti, Ialoveni, Leova, Nisporeni, Orhei, Straseni, Soldanesti, Telenesti and Ungheni. ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE FORUM OF PRESIDENTS – "The Council of Legal Representatives of the administrativeterritorial units - the Forum of Presidents - consists of the Presidents of the administrativeterritorial units of the counties and districts of the Euroregion ..." (Article 2 of the Statute of the Euroregion) "The Presidents' Forum adopts its resolutions and decisions by open vote. Resolutions and decisions are adopted by consensus of the participants with the right to vote "(Article 5 of the Statute of the Euroregion) Working methods of Siret – Prut – Nistru Euroregion: - development and cooperation does not require measures based on individual cases ; 3 - it is constituted the solid base for initiating, maintaining and developing cross-border relations: citizens, institutions, politicians, social partners, etc. - implementation of cross-border decisions at national level, in accordance with procedures applicable on both sides of the border (avoiding conflicts of competencies and structural capacities); - cooperarea se face pe plan orizontal, în afara graniței şi în plan vertical (european, guvernamental, regional şi local). - the cooperation is done horizontally, across borders and in vertical (European, governmental, regional and local). Activities carried out within the euroregion : - the annual organization of conferences, symposiums, international and scientific meetings on cross-border cooperation issues; - exchange of experience in the administrative area, cultural, socio - economic, etc. ; - identifying and preparing the steps for the joint projects of the euroregion; - numerous actions in the cultural and scientific field; - building partnerships in the metropolitan development. The Siret – Prut – Nistru Euroregion enjoys the logistical support of the first Euroregion established in the European Union in 1952, EUREGIO. HISTORIC ASSOCIATION EUROREGION SIRET-PRUT-NISTRU By Government Ordinance no. 120/1998 for the ratification by Romania of the European Framework Convention on Cross-border Cooperation of Local Authorities or Authorities, adopted in Madrid on May 21, 1980, with subsequent amendments and amendments, mentions the activities of Euroregions without the legislator establishing their capacity to be a holder Rights and obligations of national or international character. In order to benefit from all these rights and obligations and to access various funds, the Siret - Prut - Nistru Euroregion found the way to acquire legal personality by setting up an association. In May 2005, the Siret - Prut - Nistru Euroregion with the support of the Iasi County Council established the "Siret - Prut - Nistru Euroregion" Association, through which it has the possibility to manage its own funds. An important objective of the association is the absorption of funds for the implementation of cross-border projects. In May 2005, the Association reunited as the founding members, the 20 members of the Euroregion: Iasi County, Vaslui County, Romania, Anenii Noi District, Basarabeasca District, Calarasi District, Cimislia District, Criuleni District, Dubasari District, Floresti District, Hancesti District , Ialoveni district, Leova district, Nisporeni district, Orhei rayon, Rezina rayon, Soroca rayon, Straseni district, Soldanesti rayon, Telenesti district, Ungheni district, Republic of Moldova. On September 1, 2015 the Siret-Prut-Nistru Euroregion and the Association „Euroregion Siret-Prut-Nistru” gather 25 districts from 32 of the Republic of Moldova, Balti Municipality, Gagauzia Autonomous Territorial Unit and 3 counties in Romania (IAŞI and PRAHOVA). 4 MEMBERS IAȘI COUNTY (RO) HÎNCEȘTI District

  • Local Integration Project for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine
    LOCAL INTEGRATION PROJECT FOR BELARUS, MOLDOVA AND UKRAINE 2011-2013 Implemented by the United Nations High Funded by the European Union Commissioner for Refugees 12 June 2012 Refugees to receive apartments under EU/UNHCR scheme CHISINAU, Moldova, June 12 (UNHCR) – Four apartments rehabilitated to shelter refugees fleeing human rights abuse and conflict in their home countries have been given today to local authorities in Razeni, Ialoveni District by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) following extensive rehabilitation works co-funded by the EU/UNHCR under the Local Integration Project (LIP) for refugees. Refugee families from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Palestine received ceremonial keys at today’s hand-over ceremony. Razeni Mayor Ion Cretu hosted Deputy Minister Ana Vasilachi (Ministry of Labour, Social Protection and the Family), Deputy Minister Iurie Cheptanaru (Ministry of Internal Affairs), Ambassador of the European Union Dirk Schübel and other dignitaries. Tuesday’s ceremony at the long-disused kindergarten follows a similar event in March when UNHCR formally handed over apartments at a former public bathhouse in Mereni, Anenii Noi District to shelter refugees from Armenia, Russia and Sudan. “Without the enthusiastic support of the mayors, council and residents of Mereni and Razeni villages, which offered the dilapidated buildings to UNHCR for renovation into apartments, this pilot refugee housing project would not have been possible,” said UNHCR Representative Peter Kessler. The refugees getting the new apartments were carefully selected based on their skills and willingness to contribute to their new host communities by a team including the Refugee Directorate of the Bureau for Migration and Asylum in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, UNHCR and its NGO implementing partners.
