“It just came to our knowledge then. All countries in the European Union and in the world have reference laboratories, which must carry out the high-level research required by the state on animal diseases, food safety, genetically modified organisms,” said D Remeika in the conservative faction of the Seimas on Tuesday.
Andrius Vyšniauskas, member of the Rural Affairs Committee of the Seimas, who started the meeting of parliamentarians with Mr. Remeika, reproached the one after another scandals related to the institute. He proposed an audit of the institute.
“Perhaps Lithuania does not need this institute at all, perhaps some functions can be bought in the free market, use other laboratories?”, Reflected the parliamentarian.
“It just came to our knowledge then. There are focused scientists. They suggest to the supervisory authority what measures to take, how to handle the problems,” added the head of the SFVS.
The SFVS has launched an internal investigation into the activities of Gediminas Pridotkas, Head of the National Institute for Food and Veterinary Risk Assessment, and has also requested the findings of the Chief Ethics Commission, the Financial Crimes Investigation Service.
In early February, the Siena journalism center announced that the institute would contribute 0.9 million. The Institute intends to spend € 1 billion on innovative food grade solutions, but the Institute may already have such tools and the four vendors involved in the tender are interconnected. In addition, the director of the institute himself worked with all the entrepreneurs participating in the contest.
