The EU CAP represents a legal framework of major importance for ensuring the development and modernization of agriculture in EU member countries, ensuring their food security, especially against the background of persistent crises, but at the same time also for achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal. Having obtained the status of EU candidate country, Republic of Moldova will have to adjust its agricultural policy in order to align it to the CAP objectives. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to analyze the current PAC objectives in view of the actions that the Republic of Moldova has to undertake and to argue the necessity of adjustment of national agricultural policy to the EU requirements. The research methods are based on comparative methods, analysis and synthesis, elaboration of conclusions, etc. The PAC objectives announced by the EU, once implemented in the Republic of Moldova, will contribute to the development and modernization of the country's agricultural sector, taking into account a number of aspects related to the environment, social welfare, competitiveness, development of rural areas, etc. The paper has been developed within the State Program "Development of new economic instruments for assessing and stimulating the competitiveness of agriculture of the Republic of Moldova for the years 2020 - 2023" (code 20.80009.0807.16), financed from the state budget of the Republic of Moldova through the National Agency for Research and Development.
