LAW ON PUBLIC ASSOCIATIONS
*********************************
On November 22, 1995 the Parliament of Moldova adopted a
Law on Public Associations in its first reading. The project was
prepared by an NGO, Ecological Society "BIOTICA," with USAID
support through the EURASIA Foundation, Kyiv Regional Office.
Taking into account its great significance for the development of
the third sector in Moldova, the law was was first discussed during
three seminars for NGOs, organized by BIOTICA, COUNTERPART
Foundation for International Partnerships, Intl Foundation for Electoral
Systems and Moldova-Florida Center.
The American Bar Association also participated in the Law Project.
The adoption of the law is apparently not final. The authors hope to
make some alterations in the course of a second reading, which will
improve the Law and make it more useful for NGOs functioning in Moldova.
