Vice-Minister Mitkus: To become more competitive, we must lower energy prices, improve access to finance and strengthen the Single Market
On 27 October, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Sigitas Mitkus met members of the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), who are visiting Lithuania.
The meeting focused on the priorities of Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) and issues on the ITRE Committee’s agenda, with particular emphasis on competitiveness.
“Strengthening competitiveness is one of the key priorities of Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the EU. A stronger and more innovative European industry, a more favourable environment for business and investment, improved access to finance and lower energy prices are essential to Europe’s competitiveness. We look forward to the ITRE Committee’s active engagement in ensuring that these priorities are reflected in EU decisions,” Vice-Minister emphasised.
The meeting with Vice-Minister Mitkus formed part of the programme of the ITRE Committee members’ visit to Lithuania from 26 to 28 October. During the visit, Committee members also visited Vinted, Teltonika EMS, the Manufacturing Innovation Valley, the Neris transformer substation and other sites.
