“(After the meeting – ELTA) even more doubts arose. First of all, it is gratifying that, after 4 or 5 months, even longer, there are obvious misrepresentations, to put it mildly, about the DNA plan of the previous Government, of that the plan was not based on funding sources or unreasonable expectations were raised.

Yesterday, the Minister of Finance not only acknowledged, but also stated in figures that the DNA plan prepared by the previous Government is based on three real sources of financing: RRF, financial perspective, both current and future, and State budget funds. ”. Skvernelis told reporters earlier Seimas sitting down on Thursday.

The former prime minister noted that the projects presented in Lithuania’s New Generation plan are too abstract.

“The other thing, compared to the measures that that government took, we had very specific projects, not as the abstractions are now written in the project, there is nothing concrete, just a common line with many slogans. Those projects (the old government-ELTA) had also been approved by investment committees with the social partners ”, he said.

According to S. Skvernelis, when formulating the economic recovery plan, the rulers did not communicate enough with the social partners.

“The third thing that was very important was the lie that the European Commission (EC) had asked that this plan not be made public or disseminated, and then both our Commissioner and the Commission itself denied that the dialogue with the social partners was and should Encourage the plan of measures to have the greatest possible support, “he said.

Furthermore, S. Skvernel emphasizes that the economic recovery plan should not become a tool for the implementation of the Government’s program.

“It is clearly stated that this plan is designed to implement the Government’s program. Unfortunately, the money from the RRF (Economic Recovery Plan – ELTA) is destined to the recovery of the economies of the countries after the pandemic, and not to the implementation of the program of the coalition of conservatives or coalition partners, “he said .

“All the circumstances allow us to suppose that we really want to demand and fight so that at least the Seimas committees examine this plan, because the Seimas, which is 2,200 million euros, has been eliminated. We will definitely ask the STT for an anti-corruption evaluation of this plan when approved, ”added S. Skvernelis.

On Friday, the Ministry of Finance presented an integrated draft of the National Plan for Economic Recovery and Resilience Building, entitled “Lithuania’s New Generation”, which aims to distribute grants to Lithuania from the European Union Recovery Fund.

It is planned that 37% of the New Generation plan for Lithuania, or 823 million. 20% for green conversion. – digitization (445 million euros), education – 14%. (311 million euros), 12% – 5% for the health component (267 million euros), labor market and social inclusion. (111 million euros), 9% for innovation and science. (200 million euros).

The social partners and municipal representatives criticize the lack of coordination of the plan.
