Following extensive consultations by IRZ on its introduction, we are now supporting the implementation of the new Administrative Code of the Republic of Moldova. In addition to training courses for the judiciary, our approach is to involve young lawyers.
Our summer school for students on administrative law and EU law at the beginning of July offered five days filled with specialist lectures, practical exercises, presentations by German and Moldovan experts, and roundtable discussions with high-ranking Moldovan guests. This comprehensive package awaited twenty students from the State University of Moldova (USM) and two other universities at the beginning of their semester break.
Moldovan administrative law in its current form is strongly based on German administrative law. Germany has a long tradition of the rule of law in the field of administrative law and provides a proven model that is a valuable point of reference for the Republic of Moldova. With the introduction of the new Administrative Code, the Republic of Moldova has reached an important milestone in this regard.
The strong influence of German law on Moldovan administrative law, but also on civil law, and Germany's ongoing support for legal development in the Republic of Moldova through IRZ were also highlighted by Sergiu Băieşu, Dean of the Faculty of Law at the USM, in his welcoming address.
