The Seimas member argues his proposal due to the fact that the functions of the SFVS are much broader, not just veterinary, from food safety to import and export control and hygiene requirements for restaurants.
“Although it is an infinitely broad and broad structure, the law leaves an excessive provision that the director of this service must have a veterinary degree. Who needs that? After all, the functions of the service are not only veterinary. And the fact that the director is a veterinarian does not mean that he will manage the service of a thousand employees well, ”the report quotes a member of the Seimas Rural Affairs Commission.
A. Vyšniauskas also points out that this excessive restriction means that many SFVS managers were from the system, and the abolition of the requirement for veterinary qualifications could attract highly qualified managers from the country.
“When one is from within, it is difficult both to evaluate the system objectively and to make fundamental changes, sometimes difficult. By eliminating the obligation for the director of the SFVS to have a veterinary degree, it would be possible to participate in the competition for the head of this institution not only for the people of the system ”, says the member of the Seimas.
The head of the SFVS is a state official, appointed and dismissed by the Government for four years on the recommendation of the Minister of Agriculture.
The head of the SFVS must be qualified as a veterinarian and meet the general requirements for a person to be hired as a civil servant.
