"The company understands that this
topic is harmful to the Lithuanian military and is not helpful for the company
and it simply agrees to not escalate this issue," Marius Rindinas, a lawyer representing Nota Bene, told reporters on Tuesday.
He confirmed that Nota Bene agrees to return around 4,000 euros paid by the military
for the kitchen utensils. However, the company declines to cancel the
174,000-euro field kitchen equipment contract, signed in 2014, as a whole as it
has already been implemented.
The contract was signed as part of an
earlier-signed preliminary agreement, worth 1.6 mln euros, on the supply of
spare parts and equipment for field kitchens.
Rindinas said that Nota Bene is ready to cancel the preliminary agreement.
"This morning, we invited the
Lithuanian Armed Forces to try and resolve the situation by strictly complying
with the law and through dialog and with the involvement of officials from the
Defense Ministry and the Public Procurement Office," the lawyer said.
Nota Bene Director Andrius Jazgevicius
also confirmed that the company suspended cooperation with Germany's Karcher,
the manufacturer of the field kitchen equipment, after receiving a letter from
Germany's Karcher Futuretech a week ago.
