According to Delfi’s senior unofficial Lithuanian diplomat, the new negotiating proposal is “a step forward, improved on some issues for Lithuania compared to the previous one.”
“The rural development package has been slightly improved. Some lines of contractual obligations also look better. I am referring to the Kaliningrad transit. There are also positive steps in Ignalina, in the field of co-financing. It is also important that some of the lines that were in the previous negotiated proposal be maintained. This is very positive, “said the diplomat, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the negotiation process.
Ch. Michel, in fact, began distributing gifts by taking $ 1.7 billion out of a secret pocket. euros For example, Lithuania has an additional LTL 125 million for rural development. Euros These gifts also received more countries: Estonia, Latvia, etc. The largest donations were to France (€ 500 million) and Portugal (€ 300 million).

Lithuania also has 50 million. Kaliningrad’s transit offer was improved by € 139 million (now € 189 million).
Adjustments have also been made in the distribution of the Recovery Fund. the funds should not have been taken into account in the unemployment rate, but only in the country’s GDP. This meant that funds for Lithuania were likely to decline as the country’s economy grew as planned.
“Unemployment remains, but there are certain corrections that we are analyzing, we appreciate and that proposal is a little more favorable for us,” said the Lithuanian diplomat, but did not disclose the details.
Asked whether after the new Ch. Michel’s proposal, the old pessimistic mood at EVS changed, he said: “A new proposal has been put forward, as have the moods of others. A new stage of negotiations has begun and those states of mind are negotiating, in light of the new proposals. “
However, the diplomat did not dare to predict whether an agreement on the EU budget and the Recovery Fund would be reached (a total of around 1.8 billion euros). Saturday at 1 p.m. In Belgian time (2 pm Lithuania time) the EVS session was closed and Ch. Michel began a separate consultation.
