The EU official went on to say that the Commission&#13;<br \/>\ncan neither accept nor refuse the proposal, and that the problem has to be&#13;<br \/>\nsettled in Romania.

The Commission&#13;<br \/>\nresumed its budget support to the Republic of Moldova in July, following a&#13;<br \/>\nnearly two-year period during which such payments had been put on hold due to a&#13;<br \/>\ndeterioration of the rule of law situation in the country. Following the change&#13;<br \/>\nof government in June, the Moldovan authorities have engaged in a significant&#13;<br \/>\nand substantial structural reform process, which has allowed the EU to resume&#13;<br \/>\nits budget support and macro-financial assistance to the Republic of Moldova.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HANDBALL<\/strong>&#8211; Romania&#8217;s men&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nhandball team Dinamo Bucharest on Wednesday evening defeated, on home turf, the&#13;<br \/>\nPolish team Orlen Wisla Plock, 29-20, in Champions League&#8217;s group D.
