Comparability of treatment provision

In order to secure comparable treatment of its debt due to all its external public or private creditors, the Government of Moldova commits to seek promptly from all its external creditors debt reorganisation arrangements on terms comparable to those set forth in these Agreed Minutes, while trying to avoid discrimination among different categories of creditors. Consequently, the Government of Moldova commits to accord all categories of creditors -and in particular creditor countries not participating in these Agreed Minutes, and private creditors- a treatment not more favourable than that accorded to the Participating Creditor Countries for credits of comparable maturity.

For the purpose of the comparison between the arrangements concluded by the Government of Moldova with its creditors not listed in these Agreed Minutes on the one hand, and with the Participating Creditor Countries on the other hand, all relevant elements shall be taken into account, including the real exposure of the creditors not listed in these Agreed Minutes, the level of cash payments received by those creditors from the Government of Moldova as compared to their share in Moldova's external debt, the nature and characteristics of all treatment applied, including debt buy backs, and all characteristics of the reorganized claims and in particular their repayment terms whatever forms they take and in general the financial relations between the Government of Moldova and the creditors not listed in these Agreed Minutes.
