The European Commission Enlargement Reports do not assign a single 'rating' or 'grade' to candidate countries; rather they assess progress across multiple chapters and criteria
Moldova was specifically recognized for making the 'greatest annual progress' among all candidate states, not for receiving a numerical or letter-grade rating
The claim of 'highest rating' (cel mai înalt calificativ) is an interpretation of the Commission's assessment that Moldova made 'four times more progress' than in previous years
Source publication date (4 November 2025) is after the session date (20 January 2026), but the data refers to progress made in 2025, which the MEP could reference
