The EU provided Moldova with EUR 1.2 billion in grants and EUR 1.7 billion for the private sector over the last five years.

Omissions

• The EUR 1.2 billion figure is described by the European Commission as 'over €1.2 billion in grants' for 2021–2025, so the claim's figure is accurate (a floor).
• The EUR 1.7 billion figure found in EU sources refers to resources 'mobilised for projects in Moldova, together with international financial institutions' — the exact share directed specifically to the private sector could not be independently verified; no source retrieved explicitly states 'EUR 1.7 billion for the private sector'.
• A Moldovan government factsheet (2023) cites a different, lower figure under the Economic and Investment Plan (€1.2 billion in investments mobilised, of which €365 million in grants), which should not be confused with the €1.2 billion in grants for 2021–2025.
• The eu4moldova.eu page was published around July 2025 and the European Commission press release on 4 September 2025 — both before the session date of 2026-07-07, so the MEP could have known them.
