Subject : Inclusion of Moldova in the 204 MECU food aid operation - Amendment
             of Council Regulation nr. 1999/94 of 27.07.1994.
Appeals have been addressed to the EU by the Government of Moldova concerning a
dramatic decline in agriculture output due to an unprecedented drought and natural
calamities. It is expected that the government will not be able to cover the minimal
nutritional needs of the population during the coming winter.
It appears therefore appropriate to proceed with an amendment of Council Regulation
nr. 1999/94 of 27.07.1994 in order to permit the inclusion of Moldova into the group of
recipient countries of the 204 MECU food aid operation.
To this end, it is proposed to the Council to adopt the annexed draft regulation.
