However, the commission does not rule out the possibility of initiating an investigation if E. Gustas finds employment at the center and determines that he may have violated the Law on Reconciliation of Public and Private Interests.
Therefore, on Thursday, the commission recommended E. Gustus to evaluate whether there are legal obstacles to occupying this position before making a decision on employment, according to a letter addressed to E. Gustas, Minister Andrius Palionis and the conservatives of Seimas.
According to the COEC, the investigation has not started because E. Gustas has not yet assumed his functions, which may generate a conflict of interest.
E. Gust has not yet been contacted by BNS.
Rosvald Gorbachev, the representative of the Minister of Agriculture, told BNS that E. Gustas has not yet been appointed to a new post.
Andrius Vyšniauskas, a member of the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party-National Union elected to the new Seimas, asked the commission in late October to investigate whether E. Gustus should not be subject to a one-year “reflection period”.
According to him, the law clearly states that a state politician cannot become the head of an institution subordinate to him for one year.
The Agricultural Information and Rural Business Center has not had a manager for several years.
This story started last week Delfi has announced that shortly before the end of his term, the current Vice Minister of Agriculture Evaldas Gustas has won the vacancy for the post of General Director of the Center for Agricultural Information and Rural Enterprise. The institution depends on the Ministry of Agriculture.
