Romanian President signs decree to enforce law on small-scale border trade agreement with Moldova

Romanian President Traian Basescu signed a decree to enforce a new small-scale border trade and population flow agreement with Moldova.

Previously, the country's two legislative chambers - the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate - voted in favor of the bill.

The law allows Moldovans living on the Romanian border to travel 50 km within the neighboring country without a visa. Moldovans generally need a visa to visit Romania. Romanians do not because Chisinau does not ask for visas for E.U. countries.
