Agenda of the discussions with Ukrainian officials will include topics inventory, monitoring and review of existing aid, but also ex ante control of state aid.

    In particular, colleagues of the Anti-monopoly Authority from Ukraine, have asked officials from the Republic of Moldova to present the Competition Council’s experience in creation and implementation of Information system “State Aid Registry of Moldova” (SARM) unique system, which analog does not exists at the moment in the world, launched in the Republic of Moldova on July 1.

      We would like to reiterate that the SARM is a system of notification, monitoring and reporting of State aid measures on-line, allowing each state aid provider to complete the forms electronically, without going to the Council, thus saving time and material resources.

     Also, the System helps to ensure transparency, access to relevant information in the field of state aid and effective collaboration between state aid providers  and the Competition Council and its objective is to minimize the negative impact of state aid on competition and international trade.
