European ones and will be used to develop concrete
recommendations on the harmonization of legislation,
normative and standards, it was take into account the
respective international methodological
recommendations [11-18] and the those of national
order - Standards of the Republic of Moldova on the
principles and methodology of standardization (SM
1-0:2003, MS 1-12:2002; SM 1-20:2002, SM 1-
21:2002 [18, 19]) and others.
Storage of the specialized information and
creation of databases of legislative-normative acts on
biodiversity domein (EU Directives, International
Conventions, National legislation and normative) was
made in electronic form.
Collecting and processing of information on
standards and technical regulations was effectuated by
using existing databases of international and national
Websites and formation of a register of operative
information in this domain.
3. Results and Discussions
In the Program "Rethink Moldova. Medium
Term Development Priorities, 2010-2013”
approximation of legislative and normative acts to
those of the EU is among the priority issues, that need
resolving operational. Collection and analysis of
material under mentioned program has permitted to
highlight the following aspects of the assessment and
the need of International, European and National acts
for the ecological management on "Fish"
compartment in the Republic of Moldova.
3.1. Assessment and training normative legislative
base in "PISCES"
3.1.1. International legislation
Various multilateral environmental agreements
or conventions have been concluded for nature
protection in general, and for aquatic fauna in special.
The European Community takes an active part in the
elaboration, ratification and implementation of
multilateral environmental agreements. Republic of
Moldova also is a part of those conventions and made
different action in accordance with ratified
conventions. The principal of them which cover also
the Fish compartment are named chronologically
below (see Box 1).

on nature protection
• Convention on Wetlands of International
Importance Especially as Waterfowl
Habitat (Ramsar, 1971)
• Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora (Washington,
• 1973)
• Convention on Conservation of Migratory
Species of Wild Animals (Bonn, 1979)

European Wildlife and Natural Habitats
(Bern, 1979)
• Convention on Biological Diversity (Rio de
Janeiro, 1992)
• Convention on Cooperation for the
Protection and Sustainable Use of the
Danube River (Sofia, 1994)
3.1.2. EU legislation
In accordance with EU recommendations [10-
14], were taken to record the majority of legislative
and normative acts, which are part of the acquis of
Environment and need to be transposed into national
law. Environmental acquis recommended for
harmonization of national legislation is considerably
smaller (118 documents). As the compartment “Fish”
there was highlighted the following:
EU Fish Protection Legislation. Within this
framework, EU Nature conservation policy is
implemented by one main piece of legislation –
Habitats Directive - the Council Directive
92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of
natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora. The
Directive aim to provide protection for listed species
and habitats and to create the European ‘coherent
European ecological network of sites – called Natura
2000 to enable the maintenance or restoration of
natural habitat types and the habitats of species at
favorable conservation status (Art. 3, Habitats
Directive). The Habitats Directive requires Special
Areas of Conservation (SACs) to be designated for
listed plant and animal species, and habitats.
Together, SACs and Special Protection Areas
(SPAs) from Birds Directive (Council Directive
79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of
wild birds) make up the Natura 2000 sites. SPAs and
