While all other WTO members currently enjoy these benefits. the U.S. does not. The Republic of Moldova has been evaluated every year and granted normal trade relations with the U.S. through annual presidential waivers from the effects of JacksonVanik. The Moldovan constitution guarantees its citizens the right to emigrate and this right is respected in practice. Most emigration restrictions were eliminated in 1991 and virtually no problems with emigration have been reported in the 16 years since independence. More specifically. Moldova does not impose emigration restrictions on members of the Jewish community. Synagogues function openly and without harassment. As a result. the Administration finds that Moldova is in full compliance with JacksonVaniks provisions.
