"In reply, the EU side gave a positive appreciation of recent developments in the EU-Moldova relations and expressed its belief that this positive trend would continue. The EU reckoned that there was no need to create a different cooperation mechanism, but it was indeed necessary to improve the existing one.  The changes would include organisation of systematic meetings at least once a year and establishment of permanent contacts between experts from both sides."

Many thanks

Gave a ositive appreciation seems overly wordy and consequently unintelligible.  The EU approved of would be sufficient, if that is what your phrase really means.

The is optional here-- the EU-Moldova relations-- and I tend to omit them when unnecessary. Otherwise, your articles are fine.
