"Over the year, Lithuania has made a significant breakthrough in the
acceleration of its OECD accession process. We will continue our efforts to
make sure that all planned reforms are implemented in time to make Lithuania a
fully-fledged member of the organization next year," government chancellor
Milda Darguzaite said in a press
release after a meeting with the OECD representatives.
The OECD representatives were updated on the amendment to the Law on
Forests on consolidation of forestry companies, as well as legal changes
enabling merger of road maintenance companies. The Lithuanian delegation said
this was part of the efforts to ensure more efficient and transparent
operations of state-run companies.
Darguzaite said the reforms were not only aimed at ensuring OECD membership
but were also necessary for the country's economic development and efficient
management of properties.
Lithuania started the OECD accession process after receipt of invitation in
June of 2015, with a decision on membership expected in June of 2018.
