According to CEO of Orlen Lietuva, the current financial situation of the company is the most difficult one in its entire history. Last week the prime minister said that last year the largest taxpayers, i.e. companies Orlen Lietuva and Achema, exported less, earned less and therefore less of value added tax was collected to the public budget, reports LETA/ELTA.

Recently Butkevicius promised Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk to re-open the closed railway line to Renge, Latvia, which is of utmost importance to Orlen Lietuva.

In addition, the Government has approved of the plans to build a product pipeline from Mazeikiai to Klaipeda.

On Monday, Lithuania's Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius will attend a roundtable discussion on municipal economic revival, pooling of active and skilled staff, viable business ideas and public support in Mazeikiai town.
