According to the authors, the new draft law comes to offer a mechanism for solving the problem that arose in the process of harmonizing the national legislation with the legislation of the European Union, given that, today, on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, there are around 180 thousand means of transportation transport that are placed under the customs regime of temporary admission.
It is obvious that a solution to this problem is required. The solution is also necessary due to the fact that the owners of these cars found themselves practically at an impasse following the legislative changes made at the end of last year. The bill provides a good alternative and a feasible solution for the owners of these transport units. At the same time, the implementation of this draft law will generate significant additional revenues for the State Budget for the year 2023.

We remind you that, in January and February this year, several owners of cars with foreign registration numbers protested, being dissatisfied with the new regulations that provide that from January 1, 2023, resident and non-resident natural persons can enter the territory of the country by means of transport registered abroad only for a period of up to 180 days in a period of 12 consecutive months.
