Twinning is an institutional building tool designed by the European Commission to help beneficiary countries in the development of modern and efficient administrations and organisations at central, regional and local level, with the structures, human resources and management skills needed to implement the acquis communautaire to the same standards as the EU Member States.
Twinning provides the framework for administrations in the beneficiary countries to work with their counterparts from the EU Member States. Together they develop and implement Twinning projects that target the transfer, enforcement and implementation of a specific part of the acquis communautaire.
The main distinct feature of the Twinning project is direct exchange of specific national experience in EU legislation implementation.
Twinning has been made accessible to Moldova since 2006. At present ten Twinning projects of almost €11 million are in the process of implementation or are finished in Moldova.
