MOLDOVA, AND GEORGIA TO THE EUROPEAN UNION

Preamble

The European Union, acting through its duly authorized representatives and the
Member States

Has agreed to the following provisions establishing the terms and conditions for
the accession of the New Member States to the European Union:

Part I: Fundamentals and Rule of Law

Article 1.01: Permanent External Judicial Oversight The European Union shall
establish a permanent External Judicial Oversight Mission (EJOM) for ten (10)
years following accession. This mission will have the binding authority to
advise on the integrity of high-level judicial appointments and anti-corruption
prosecutions in the New Member States.

Article 1.02: Anti-Corruption Vetting Lock The operational independence of all
specialized anti-corruption institutions is protected by Union law. Any
legislative or executive action seeking to diminish the authority of these
agencies shall be considered a material breach of this Treaty.

Article 1.03: Civil Society Monitoring Guarantee The New Member States must
guarantee unfettered operational space and direct public funding access for
human rights and anti-corruption civil society organizations to conduct
independent monitoring of legislative and judicial performance.

Article 1.04: Minority Rights Enforcement The immediate and complete
implementation of all Union frameworks protecting the rights of ethnic,
linguistic, and religious minorities is non-negotiable. Annual reports on
enforcement will be subject to a public, binding review by the Committee.

Article 1.05: Freedom of the Press Guarantee The New Member States must legally
guarantee zero tolerance for political interference in media ownership and
editorial decisions. Penalties for attacks on journalists must be immediately
set at the highest level of Union law.

political figures.

Part II: Economic, Trade, and Fiscal Integration

the New Member States shall unconditionally and immediately adopt the Euro as
the sole legal tender, ensuring no internal currency differences exist within
the federated Union.

Article 2.02: Immediate and Total Single Market Access The New Member States
shall achieve zero-tariff, zero-quota access to the entire Single Market, with
no exceptions for any industrial or commodity sector.

Article 2.03: Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) Phase-In Direct payments under
the CAP shall be gradually phased in over a fifteen (15) year transitional
period, reflecting the need for fiscal stability for existing Member States.
Full integration into the CAP's structural and development funds is immediate.

Article 2.04: Full Funding Guarantee for Existing Regions The European Union
guarantees that the entire cost of integrating the New Member States shall be
covered by a dedicated, grant-funded instrument and a new Union revenue stream,
ensuring that no existing Member States experiences any reduction in their
current Cohesion Fund or CAP direct payment ceilings.

Article 2.05: Contribution to the Union Budget The New Member States shall begin
contributing to the Union's central budget at a rate of 10% of their Gross
National Income (GNI) annually, effective from the date of entry into force.

Article 2.06: Grant-Based Reconstruction Facility The Kyiv-Chișinău-Tbilisi
Integration and Reconstruction Facility shall be entirely grant-based (not loan-
based) to ensure the long-term fiscal sustainability and debt control of the New
Member States, subject to rigorous oversight by the Union's financial bodies.

Part III: Internal Affairs and Border Management

integration into the Schengen zone based on verified compliance with border
management, security and rule of law standards. Internal border controls shall
be lifted only after independent readiness assessment.

immediate and unconditional adoption of the Union's Mandatory Asylum Solidarity
Mechanism. The New Member States must commit to participating fully in the

Article 3.04: Security Intelligence Sharing Mandate The New Member States must
commit to sharing all relevant national security and counter-terrorism
intelligence with strict respect of GDPR and the Charter of Fundamental Rights
with the Union's security agencies (Europol/Eurojust), bypassing any historical
national security restrictions.

Article 3.05: Digital Identity and Cybersecurity Alignment The New Member States
must immediately align their national digital identity and cybersecurity
frameworks with the highest Union standards to ensure seamless and secure cross-
border service provision.

Article 3.06: Protection of External Borders Fund A permanent annual fund shall

Moldova, and Ukraine do not exercise effective control over parts of their
internationally recognised territories, the detailed rules governing the
application, suspension, and subsequent full extension of the acquis in those
areas shall be laid down in separate protocols on Georgia, on Moldova, and on
Ukraine, which shall be annexed to this Act and shall be based on the precedent
established for the application of Union law in the case of the occupied part of
the Republic of Cyprus, while fully respecting the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of the acceding States.

immediate, explicit, and binding Collective Defense Guarantee to the New Member

sovereignty and internationally recognized borders.

shall be established in one of the New Member States, leveraging their expertise
to provide enhanced cybersecurity and resilience for all Union digital networks.

Article 5.04: Defense Procurement Commitment The New Member States commit to
sourcing at least 70% of their new defense equipment needs from Union-based
manufacturers and supply chains for a period of ten years, boosting Union
defense integration.

Article 5.05: Research and Development Integration All national defense
technology research and development programs must be fully integrated into the
Union's frameworks, requiring full transparency and intellectual property
sharing with Union partners.

Article 5.06: Joint Military Training Centers The New Member States shall host
and fund the establishment of three (3) new Joint Union Military Training
Centers, specializing in hybrid warfare and border security operations.

Part VI: Climate and Sustainability

Article 6.01: Phased-Out Adoption of Climate Acquis The New Member States shall
undertake a progressive and sequenced alignment with the Union’s climate and
environmental acquis, including relevant elements of the European Green Deal and
the Union’s 2050 climate neutrality objective. Such alignment shall reflect
national economic capacity, energy system structure, and security
considerations, and shall be implemented according to transitional arrangements
agreed with the Parliament.

Article 6.02: Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Obligation In recognition of existing energy
dependencies and infrastructure constraints, the New Member States may continue
to use coal, oil, and natural gas as transitional energy sources for up to
twenty-five (25) years following accession. During this period, they shall
pursue a non-binding objective of increasing renewable energy to approximately
40% of electricity generation by the end of the transition, subject to national
circumstances. Any reduction of fossil fuels shall remain nationally determined,
technologically feasible, and economically sustainable, without Union-imposed
deadlines or funding conditionality tied to specific phase-out targets.

(a) Establishment and Financing. An EIF is hereby established, financed by: (i)
revenues from the Union own resource based on the EU Emissions Trading System
(ETS) and CBAM, (ii) a dedicated 0.15% GNI‑based contribution for 10 years from
all Member States, and (iii) reflows from existing Union climate instruments.

(b) Allocation. At least 70% of EIF resources shall be grants to the New Member
States; up to 30% may be blended finance.

(c) Conditionality. Disbursements are conditional on milestone delivery under
Articles 6.02, 6.04 and 6.06.

(d) Performance Incentives. Early achievement of interim targets yields a 10%
top‑up on subsequent tranches; failure to meet two consecutive milestones
triggers an automatic 10% holdback until corrective action plans are approved.

Article 6.04: Renewable Energy Acceleration Targets The New Member States shall
commit to specific, accelerated renewable energy targets, aiming to generate at
least 60% of their total electricity needs from renewable sources within ten
(10) years of entry into force.
"Member States relying on hydropower shall adopt drought‑resilience plans,
including ecological flow guarantees, sediment management, and diversification
into solar/wind/storage to mitigate inter‑annual variability.”

Article 6.05: Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Full Integration The New
Member States shall immediately and fully integrate into the Union's Carbon
Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) framework, ensuring environmental standards
are upheld at the new external borders.

Article 6.06: Mandatory Biodiversity Restoration The New Member States shall
dedicate a specific percentage of their national territory to mandatory
biodiversity restoration and protection zones, exceeding current national
targets to meet Union environmental standards.
