BALTADOR Lia-Alexandra , Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu

Abstract:
Sustainable Development is one of the most important long term goals that the European Union set out to achieve. Numerous documents, such as the EU’s Sustainable Development Strategies (2001, 2006), Europe 2020 and, more recent, the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as provisions of the EU’s Treaties indicate the leading role the EU is assuming in promoting and implementing this kind of development. Such fundamental values and objectives must be shared by every Member State and future candidate must adhere to them as well. Future enlargement of the EU requires an assessment of the capacity of candidate states to do so. EU’s relations with Moldavia must lead to the operationalization of shared values, in order to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals that ensure a common future.
