AmCham Participated in the 2024 CELIS Forum in Paris
Mila Malairau, AmCham Executive Director, was part of the Moldovan delegation, contributing to discussions during the Panel on Investment Screening and Economic Security in the Context of EU Enlargement at the 2024 CELIS Forum, held by the CELIS Institute in Paris, and supported by CIPE.
Moldova is the only country among current EU candidates that has approved and is actively implementing a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) screening mechanism—the Law on Screening Investments of Importance for State Security, 174/2021.
Since its approval, AmCham Moldova has flagged several legislative loopholes and unclear provisions, which could expose investors to significant risks due to potential misinterpretation and misapplication. Thanks to a partnership with CIPE Europe & Eurasia and experts from the CELIS Institute , we’ve submitted a comprehensive red-flag report with suggestions for legislative improvements to government authorities. A draft law, including key amendments, is now under discussion.
