Proposal for a
COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
amending the Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021 on the approval of the assessment
of the recovery and resilience plan for Lithuania
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility1, and in particular Article
20(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Following the submission of the national recovery and resilience plan (‘RRP’) by
Lithuania on 14 May 2021, the Commission proposed its positive assessment to the
Council. On 28 July 2021, the Council approved the positive assessment by means of
an implementing decision2 (‘the Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021). The
Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021 was amended by the Council
Implementing Decisions of 9 November 20233, 8 October 20244, 20 June 20255 and
17 February 20266.
(2) On 31 May 2026, Lithuania made a reasoned request to the Commission to make a
proposal to amend the Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021 in accordance
with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 on the grounds that the RRP is
partially no longer achievable because of objective circumstances. On that basis,
Lithuania has submitted an amended RRP.
Amendments based on Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241
(3) The amendments to the RRP submitted by Lithuania because of objective
circumstances concern 29 (sub-) measures.
(4) Lithuania has explained that nine (sub-)measures are partially no longer achievable,
because of supply chain constraints and unexpected technical difficulties. This
concerns (sub)-measures A.1.3.2 (Modernisation of infectious disease cluster centres),

B.1.2.1 (Support for the delivery of clean vehicles, and for sustainable mobility),
B.1.2.3 (Installation of vehicle charging and alternative fuel filling infrastructure),
B.1.3.3 (Supply of construction products and services that speed up the renovation of
buildings), B.1.3.4 (Support for renovation of buildings), D.1.4.3 (Apprenticeship and
trainings), G.1.2.2 (Increasing the scope and diversity of employment support
measures), H.1.1.2 (Support for renovation of buildings (scaled-up), H.1.2 (Support
for the purchase of clean inland water vehicle). On this basis, Lithuania has requested
that those measures be amended. The Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021
should be amended accordingly.
(5) Lithuania has explained that one (sub-)measure has been amended to implement better
alternatives in order to achieve its original ambition. This concerns E.1.3.2
(Supporting research and development). On this basis, Lithuania has requested that
this (sub-)measure is amended. The Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021
should be amended accordingly.
(6) Lithuania has explained that 17 (sub-)measures have been amended to implement a
better alternative that allows the administrative burden to be reduced and simplify the
Council Implementing Decision, while still achieving the objectives of those
measures. This concerns sub-measures A.1.1.11 (Digitalisation of the healthcare
sector), B.1.1.2 (Support for the construction of individual storage facilities), B.1.2.2
(Support for the purchase of zero-emission public transport vehicles), B.1.2.4 (Support
for the RES fuels sector (biomethane gas, second generation liquid biofuels for
transport, and renewable hydrogen)), B.1.4 (Maintaining and increasing GHG
absorption capacity), D.1.1.3 (Millennium School programme), D.1.1.5 (Supporting
equipment acquisition for STEAM centres and mobile laboratories), E.1.2.3
(Supporting the start-up ecosystem), E.1.3.3 (Encouraging science and business to
participate in the EU research and innovation programme Horizon Europe and other
international funding programmes), F.1.1.1 (Modernization of human resources
management system in the public sector), F.1.4.4 (Tax literate future taxpayers),
F.1.6.1. (Delivery of new data analytics tools for the State Tax Inspectorate), F.1.6.2.
(Monitoring data quality of the State Tax Inspectorate and of other institutions),
F.1.7.2. (Delivery of a prototype eFTI gate), F.1.8 (A single window to pay fines),
G.1.2.1 (Optimization and digitalisation of employment service operational processes,
ensuring systematic customer orientation), H.1.1.1 (Update of renovation packages
and standards). On this basis, Lithuania has requested that those measures be
amended. The Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021 should be amended
accordingly.
(7) Following the decrease in the level of implementation of 13 sub-measures in
accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, Lithuania has requested to
use the resources freed up by the decrease in the level of their implementation to
increase the level of implementation of two sub-measures. This concerns F.1.3.5
(Consolidation of the national development institutions) and H.1.3.2 (Support for the
construction of RES plants (solar power)). On this basis, Lithuania has requested that
the level of implementation of two sub-measures be increased. The Council
Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021 should be amended accordingly.
Corrections of clerical errors
(8) Two clerical errors have been identified in the text of the Council Implementing
Decision, affecting two sub-measures under two components. The Council
Implementing Decision should be amended to correct these clerical errors that do not
EN 3 EN
reflect the content of the RRP submitted to the Commission on 28 July 2021, as agreed
between the Commission and Lithuania. Those clerical errors relate to A.1.2.2
(Human resources and infrastructure capacity for the provision of long-term care
services) and C.1.1 (Transformation of public information technology governance)
under components A and C. Those corrections do not affect the implementation of the
measures concerned.
Commission’s assessment
(9) The Commission has assessed the amended RRP against the assessment criteria laid
down in Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241.
Contribution to the REPowerEU objectives
(10) In accordance with Article 19(3), point (da), of, and criterion 2.12 of Annex V to,
Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the REPowerEU chapter is expected to effectively
contribute to a large extent (rating A) to energy security, the diversification of the
Union’s energy supply, an increase in the uptake of renewables and in energy
efficiency, an increase of energy storage capacities or the necessary reduction of
dependence on fossil fuels before 2030. While the ambition of sub-measures H.1.1.2
(Support for renovation of buildings (scaled-up) and H.1.2 (Support for the purchase
of clean inland water vehicle) has been decreased, the ambition of sub-measure
H.1.3.2. (Support for the construction of RES plants (solar power)) has been increased
following the reallocation of the corresponding freed-up resources. The total estimated
cost of the measures under REPowerEU has remained constant, and therefore the
assessment remains unchanged.
Contribution to the green transition including biodiversity
(11) In accordance with Article 19(3), point (e), of, and criterion 2.5 of Annex V to,
Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the amended RRP contains measures that contribute to a
large extent (rating A) to the green transition, including biodiversity, or to addressing
the challenges resulting therefrom. The measures supporting climate objectives
account for an amount which represents 37.2% of the amended RRP’s total allocation
and 99.64% of the total estimated costs of measures in the REPowerEU chapter
calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Annex VI to Regulation
(EU) 2021/241. In accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the
amended RRP is consistent with the information included in the National Energy and
Climate Plan 2021-2030.
(12) Following the proposed amendments by Lithuania to the RRP, the contribution to
climate objectives decreased from 38.2% to 37.2%. The decrease in the contribution to
climate objectives mostly reflects the decrease in the level of implementation of
measure H.1.2 (Promote the purchase of zero-emission inland waterway transport
vehicles) contributing 40% to climate objectives following the reallocation of the
corresponding freed-up resources.
Contribution to the digital transition
(13) In accordance with Article 19(3), point (f), of, and criterion 2.6 of Annex V to,
Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the amended RRP contains measures that contribute to a
large extent (rating A) to the digital transition or to addressing the challenges resulting
from it. The measures supporting digital objectives account for an amount which
represents 23.42% of the amended RRP’s total allocation calculated in accordance
with the methodology set out in Annex VII to that Regulation.
EN 4 EN
(14) The contribution towards the digital transition of the modified RRP decreases from
23.44% contribution to 23.42%. This decrease is driven mostly by the downscaling of
sub-measures D.1.4.3 (Apprenticeship and work-based learning) and G.1.2.2.
(Increasing the scope and diversity of employment support measures, contributing to
the goals of digital and green transformation and promoting the circular economy -
Measures to promote entrepreneurship (digitisation)) which contribute at 40% to
digital objectives.
Costing
(15) In accordance with Article 19(3), point (i), of, and criterion 2.9 of Annex V to,
Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the justification provided in the amended RRP on the
amount of the estimated total cost of the RRP is to a medium extent (rating B)
reasonable and plausible, is in line with the principle of cost efficiency and is
commensurate to the expected national economic and social impact.
(16) According to the information provided, the assessment of the cost estimates for the
revised investments shows that most of the costs are reasonable and plausible even
though the evidence shows varying degrees of details and depth of calculations.
Furthermore, the changes in the cost estimates for amended measures were justified
and proportional and as such the reasonability, plausibility, and the additionality of EU
funding where applicable, of these cost estimates were not altered compared to the
original RRP. Finally, the amount of the estimated total costs of the RRP is in line
with the principle of cost efficiency and commensurate to the expected national
economic and social impact.
Any other assessment criteria
(17) The Commission considers that the amendments put forward by Lithuania do not
affect the positive assessment of the RRP set out in the Council Implementing
Decision of 28 July 2021 on the approval of the assessment of the RRP for Lithuania
regarding the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and coherence of the RRP against the
assessment criteria laid down in Article 19(3), points (a), (b), (c), (d), (db), (g), (h), (j)
and (k).
Positive assessment
(18) Following the positive assessment by the Commission of the amended RRP, with the
finding that the RRP satisfactorily complies with the criteria for assessment set out in
Regulation (EU) 2021/241, in accordance with Article 20(2) of and Annex V to that
Regulation, the reforms and investment projects necessary for the implementation of
the amended RRP, the relevant milestones, targets and indicators, and the amount
made available from the Union for the implementation of the amended RRP should be
set out.
Financial contribution
(19) The estimated total costs of Lithuania’s amended RRP is EUR 3 849 237 823. As the
amount of the estimated total cost of the amended RRP is equal to the updated
maximum financial contribution available for Lithuania, the financial contribution
determined in accordance with Article 4a of Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 of the
European Parliament and of the Council, and with Article 20(4) and Article 21a(6) of
Regulation (EU) 2021/241 that is allocated for Lithuania’s amended RRP should be
equal to EUR 2 297 565 464. Therefore, the financial contribution made available to
Lithuania remains unchanged.
EN 5 EN
(20) The amount of the financial contribution for Lithuania should be determined in
accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. However, pursuant to
Commission Implementing Decision of 6 May 2024 on the reduction of the amount of
the first instalment of the non-repayable support for Lithuania, adopted in accordance
with Article 24(8) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the financial contribution has been
reduced by EUR 8 733 750 and Lithuania cannot request its disbursement from the
Commission.
Loans
(21) The loan support made available to Lithuania amounting to EUR 1 551 672 358
remains unchanged.
(22) The Council Implementing Decision of 28 July 2021 should therefore be amended
accordingly. For the sake of clarity, the Annex to the Council Implementing Decision
of 28 July 2021 should be replaced entirely.
(23) This Decision should be without prejudice to the outcome of any procedures relating
to the award of Union funds under any Union programme other than the Facility or to
procedures relating to distortions of the operation of the internal market that may be
undertaken, in particular under Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty. It does not override
the requirement for Member States to notify instances of potential State aid to the
Commission under Article 108 of the Treaty,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

ANNEX
SECTION 1: REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS UNDER THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLAN
1. Description of Reforms and Investments
A. COMPONENT 1: A RESILIENT AND FUTURE-PROOF HEALTH SYSTEM
The component of the Lithuanian recovery and resilience plan contributes to addressing challenges
related to the resilience, quality, accessibility and efficiency of the healthcare system. These
challenges have been exacerbated in particular by the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The component includes a set of reforms and investments related to: (1) improving the quality and
accessibility of health services and promoting innovation, (2) improving long-term care services
and (3) strengthening the resilience of the healthcare system to deal with emergencies. In terms of
reforms, they focus on further shift to outpatient care, reorganisation of the hospital network,
digitalisation of healthcare, improving working conditions of health professionals, shortages and
skills of healthcare staff, introduction of measures to improve the quality of healthcare, scaling up
prevention measures and improving access to long-term care, reforming the ways of financing
healthcare to reduce dependence on employment-related contributions. Regarding the investments,
the plan includes targeted measures to create a centre for advanced therapies, establish a health
professionals’ competence platform, digitalise the health system, develop an integrated healthcare
quality assessment model, set up long-term care day-care centres and mobile teams. To increase an
efficient delivery of health services in health emergencies and strengthen the resilience of the health
system, investments are envisaged to modernise the infrastructure of healthcare facilities to adapt
work in emergency and crisis situations.
The measures included in the component are expected to address some challenges highlighted by
the country-specific recommendation to strengthen the resilience of the health system and to
improve the accessibility and quality of health services (country-specific recommendation 2020) as
well as increase the quality, affordability and efficiency of the healthcare system (country-specific
recommendation 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives
within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description
of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance
with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

B. COMPONENT 2: GREEN TRANSFORMATION OF LITHUANIA
The component of the Lithuanian recovery and resilience plan contributes to addressing challenges
linked to the green transition, and in particular the need to lower GHG emissions, including from
the transport sector, increase energy efficiency in buildings and transport, enhance resource
efficiency and contribute to GHG absorption through nature-based solutions.
The component envisages the preparatory works for development of offshore wind power plant and
related infrastructure, support for the construction of individual storage facilities and the
establishment of renewable energy communities, and installation of other electricity storage
infrastructure, dedicated to public use during a first period of time. As regards mobility, key
measures entail support for the replacement of polluting road transport vehicles used by the public
sector and business with clean vehicles, to improve the quality and attractiveness of public transport
services by upgrading public transport vehicles with zero or low emission vehicles, establishment of
charging/refilling infrastructure for all types of clean vehicles using alternative fuels, and to develop
alternative fuels sectors (biomethane, second generation liquid biofuels, hydrogen). As regards
energy efficiency, this is planned to be achieved by the building renovation packages and standards,
municipal development plans, sustainable urban development methodologies and district renovation
projects, promoting the supply of construction products and services that speed up the renovation of
buildings and funding for renovation. To restore the capacity of degraded wetlands to absorb and
store GHG, a reform on restoring these wetlands is envisaged, and biodiversity-rich forests shall be
acquired. Finally, resource efficiency shall be advanced with the adoption of the Circular Economy
Action Plan, which shall lay out the direction to more resource efficient Lithuania by 2035.
The measures included in the component support addressing the country-specific recommendation
to focus on investment-related economic policy on energy and resource efficiency, sustainable
transport and energy interconnections (CSR3 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives
within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description
of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance
with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). It is also expected that if the support is
provided to any installation covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), the ETS activities
need to achieve greenhouse gas emissions lower than the relevant ETS benchmarks1.

C. COMPONENT 3: DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR GROWTH
The component of the Lithuanian Recovery and Resilience plan addresses multiple aspects of the
digital transformation - digital connectivity, including the urban-rural digital divide, the
digitalisation of the public and private sectors, and digital skills. The component includes measures
to facilitate the 5G rollout, further develop the fiber infrastructure in rural and remote areas, and
foster connectivity innovation. In addition, substantial reforms and investments aim to digitalise the
public sector. The promotion of digital skills is envisaged for children, employees and senior citizen
as well as measures to address the shortage of IT employees in the labour market. Furthermore, the
component puts forward investment to promote the take-up of advanced digital technologies in the
private sector, particularly regarding science-business cooperation for innovative technologies and
the digitalisation of the cultural sector. Overall, the component includes five measures (three
reforms and two investments).
The component addresses the country-specific recommendation to promote investment in the digital
transition, in particular the coverage of and take-up of high capacity broadband (Country Specific
Recommendation 3 2020). In addition, the component is expected to contribute to boosting
productivity growth, including by making public investment more efficient (Country Specific
Recommendation 3 2019) as it includes measures to digitalise the public sector which shall have a
lasting positive impact on the functioning of the public administration and its productivity. The
measures in the component also partially address challenges related to technological innovation in
small and medium-sized enterprises (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020). Overall, the size
and the scope of the envisaged investments and reforms for the digital transition shall indirectly
contribute to mitigating the impact of the crisis on employment (Country Specific Recommendation
2 2020) and promoting investment for innovation (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives
within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description
of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance

E. COMPONENT 5: HIGHER EDUCATION, A COHERENT FRAMEWORK FOR STIMULATING
RESEARCH AND INNOVATION AND HIGH VALUE-ADDED BUSINESS
The component of the Lithuanian recovery and resilience plan addresses the key challenges in the
higher education system and research and innovation support framework. The key higher education
related challenges are the existence of a high number of institutions that do not reflect the
demographic developments and the labour market needs, lack resources and a critical mass to
deliver good quality education and R&D. The current higher education funding system incentivises
higher education institutions to focus on a higher number of students instead of ensuring quality and
labour market relevance of studies. Moreover, there is a lack of attractive academic career
opportunities, limiting human resources for education, research and innovation. The key innovation-
related challenges are low private R&D investment, the fragmentation of the R&D potential and
innovation system governance and weak science-business cooperation.
The objectives of the component are to reform higher education funding system and the student
admission system that would create incentives for the higher education institutions to increase
quality and labour market relevance of studies, promote quality R&D, cooperation and
consolidation in the sector. The reform is expected to strengthen qualitative standards for colleges
and universities. The component also includes a reform of innovation support governance and its
framework, under which the currently fragmented innovation support functions shall be
consolidated under one single Innovation agency. The reform shall also cover the revision of
existing innovation and science-business cooperation support system with a view to make it more
coherent. During the implementation of the plan, sectoral support for the design, implementation
and evaluation of research and innovation policy reforms shall be available via the Horizon Policy
Support Facility.
The component addresses the country-specific recommendations to focus investment-related
economic policy on innovation, develop a coherent policy framework to support science-business
cooperation and consolidate research and innovation implementing agencies (Country Specific
Recommendation 3 2019), promote technological innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises
(Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020) and to improve quality and efficiency at all education
and training levels, including adult learning (Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives
within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description
of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance
with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
E.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
E.1.1. Reform 1 “Quality higher education and strong higher education institutions”
The objective of the reform is to increase the quality, efficiency and the international
competitiveness of the Lithuanian higher education and science system. This measure consists of 4
sub-measures: (1) Improving higher education funding and student admission systems (sub-measure
1); (2) Efficient higher education network through refining the missions of universities and colleges
(sub-measure 2); (3) Strengthening the international competitiveness of higher education
66
institutions (sub-measure 3); (4) Systematic R&D promotion in higher education institutions and
research analysis (sub-measure 4).
E.1.1.1. Sub-measure 1: Improving higher education funding and student admission systems
The objective of the sub-measure is to revise student admission system to ensure that all students,
entering both state-funded and non-funded higher education studies, meet equally high criteria. The
sub-measure also aims to improve the higher education funding system and align it with the
strategic goals of the country. The Law on Science and Studies shall be therefore amended to
harmonise upwards the minimum requirements for student admission. The law shall also be
amended to introduce a new higher education funding system which shall be based on qualitative
indicators and agreements between with higher education institutions and the state. A model for
contracts shall be created for the implementation of strategic progress measures: for the
development of institutions, for the merger of institutions, for the improvement of the quality of
activities, for investments in infrastructure and for implementation of other defined goals. The sub-
measure shall be completed by 31 March 2023.
E.1.1.2. Sub-measure 2: Efficient higher education network through refining the missions of
universities and colleges
The objective of this sub-measure is to define the missions of universities and colleges. The sub-
measure consists in amending legislation on colleges and universities and in the reorganisation of
the college network through mergers.
E.1.1.3. Sub-measure 3: Strengthening the international competitiveness of higher education
institutions
The objective of this sub-measure is to strengthen the international competitiveness of the higher
education institutions. To achieve this, five internationalisation projects, covering attraction of
foreign students, lecturers and scientists, developing the design and implementation of joint and
double degree programmes; developing the provision of virtual services and other activities
promoting integration of Lithuanian universities in the European networks of universities, shall be
implemented by higher education institutions. In addition, 250 foreign students coming to study in
Lithuania shall receive scholarships for their integration in Lithuania by 31 December 2024.
E.1.1.4. Sub-measure 4: Systematic R&D promotion in higher education institutions and research
analysis
The objective of this sub-measure is to create a coherent science policy implementation mechanism
by creating the Science policy implementing agency. The Law on Science and Studies shall be
amended, and relevant infrastructure established by 30 June 2022 to create the Science policy
implementing agency under the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports or the Government of the
Republic of Lithuania, which shall be set up following the reorganisation of the Agency for
Science, Innovation and Technology (MITA), Research Council of Lithuania (LMT) and other
relevant bodies. The new body shall promote participation of Lithuanian applicants in the European
and international R&D&I programmes, develop scientific excellence in the public sector and
develop an analysis of science and study processes.

E.1.2. Reform 2 “Effective implementation of innovation policy, increased demand for innovation,
support to start-up ecosystem and green innovation”
The objective of the reform is to increase the efficiency of the innovation policies in Lithuania. This
measure consists of 3 sub-measures: (1) Effective implementation of innovation policy through the
creation of a single innovation promotion agency and the optimisation of the network of existing
agencies (sub-measure 1); (2) Increasing demand for innovation and support to green innovation in
Lithuania by exploiting the potential of public procurement (sub-measure 2); (3) Supporting the
start-up ecosystem (sub-measure 3).
E.1.2.1. Sub-measure 1: Effective implementation of innovation policy through the creation of a
single innovation promotion agency and the optimisation of the network of existing agencies
The objective of the sub-measure is to establish a single Innovation agency by consolidating
innovation promotion functions that are currently spread across several institutions. The sub-
measure also aims to establish a coherent science-business cooperation framework. The Innovation
agency shall be set up upon entry into force of the Resolution of the Government. Enterprise
Lithuania (Versli Lietuva) shall act as a basis for the Innovation agency and the innovation-related
functions and activities of Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology (MITA) and Lithuanian
Business Support Agency (LVPA) shall be transferred to the Innovation agency. INVEGA shall
coordinate its activities in relation to innovation funding with the Innovation Agency. The
Innovation agency shall fully integrate the Lithuanian Innovation Centre (LIC) or LIC shall be
reorganised by retracting ownership rights of public bodies. The new agency shall contribute to a
coherent innovation support framework. The new agency shall be established by 31 March 2022. In
parallel, the legal acts, notably the Law on Technology and Innovation, shall be revised with a view
to close the existing gaps and overlaps in the innovation policy framework and clarify institutional
responsibilities. The revised legal acts shall enter into force by 31 December 2021. A study on
coherence of R&I incentives shall be also carried out, based on which other legal acts shall be
revised by 31 December 2022 with a view to create a coherent set of R&I support measures.

E.3. Description of the reforms and investments for loan support
E.3.1.Investment 1 “Loans to enterprises to develop green and high value-added technologies for
industrial development”
This measure aims at improving the access to finance of companies for the development of green
and high value-added technologies and the competitiveness of the Lithuanian defence and security
industry.
The Ministry of Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania shall adopt the Guidelines
for the Development of the Defence and Security Industry 2023-2027 through Ministerial Order to
improve the competitiveness of the Lithuanian defence and security industry.
Furthermore, this measure shall consist of a public investment in a Facility in order to incentivise
private investment and improve access to finance in green and high value-added technologies as
well as the competitiveness of the Lithuanian defence and security industry. The Facility shall
operate by providing subordinated, syndicated and direct loans directly to the private sector. On the
basis of the RRF investment, the Facility aims at initially providing at least EUR 850 000 000 of
financing.
The Facility shall be managed by INVEGA as the Implementing Partner. INVEGA shall provide
debt financing (co-finance business projects with private financial institutions (mainly in the form
of subordinated loans) or, where a market survey has shown the need for it, finance business
projects directly) to:
• projects contributing to at least one of the following objectives: developing circularity,
decarbonisation, energy efficiency, environmentally friendly, low-waste, advanced,
innovative and digital technologies, production capacity for high value-added products, or
projects in the defence and security industry.
In order to implement the investment into the Facility, Lithuania and INVEGA shall sign a Funding
Agreement (or an amendment to an existing Fund of Funds Agreement) that shall include the
following content:
1. Description of the decision-making process of the Facility: The final investment decision of
the Facility shall be taken by a Credit Committee, INVEGA Management Board or other
relevant equivalent governing body and approved by a majority of votes from members who
are independent from the government.
2. Key requirements of the associated investment strategy,which shall include:
a. The description of the financial products and eligible final beneficiaries. For strategic
investments (i.e. those in defence technologies; space investments in atomic clocks,
strategic launchers; space products; and investments focusing solely on developing and
deploying cybersecurity tools and solutions, including when these are part of deploying
or upgrading digital networks and data infrastructure) final beneficiaries shall not be
controlled by a third country or third country entities and shall have their executive
management in the Union except for investments below EUR 10 000 000. If the final
beneficiary is involved in a strategic investment in the field of 5G connectivity, the
measures and risk mitigation plans, pursuant to the 5G Cybersecurity Toolbox, shall
also apply to its suppliers. Such suppliers notably include vendors of telecom equipment
and manufacturers and other third-party suppliers, such as cloud infrastructure
providers, managed service providers, systems integrators, security and maintenance
contractors and transmission equipment manufacturers. Where the final beneficiary is
80
involved in a strategic investment in the field of defence, this limitation shall also apply
to its suppliers and subcontractors. The limitations concerning the absence of control by
a third country or third country entity set out above do not apply for a particular
financing and investment operation where the final beneficiary can demonstrate that it is
a legal entity for which the Member State in which it is established has approved a
guarantee as set out in the relevant provisions of the European Defence Fund (‘EDF’)
Regulation or the Commission waiver granted in accordance with principles concerning
eligible entities set out in the relevant provisions of the Space Regulation. The
implementing partner must notify the government of any derogation granted to the
limitations.
b. The requirement that all investments supported are financially viable.
c. The requirement to comply with the ‘Do no significant harm’ (DNSH) principle as set
out in the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the investment
strategy shall exclude the following list of activities and assets from eligibility: (i)
activities and assets related to fossil fuels, including downstream use2, (ii) activities and
assets under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse
gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks3, (iii) activities and assets
related to waste landfills, incinerators4 and mechanical biological treatment plants5.
Furthermore, the investment strategy shall require compliancewith the relevant EU and
national environmental legislation of the final beneficiaries of the Facility.
d. The requirement that final beneficiaries of the Facility shall not receive support from
other Union instruments to cover the same cost.
3. The amount covered by the Funding Agreement (or an amendment to an existing Fund of
Funds Agreement), the fee structure for the Implementing Partner and the requirement to
reinvest any reflows according to the investment strategy of the Facility unless they are used
to service loan repayments of the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
4. Monitoring, audit, and control requirements, including:
a. The description of main principles of the Implementing Partner’s monitoring system to
report on the investment mobilised.
b. The description of main principles of the Implementing Partner’s procedures that aim to
ensure the prevention, detection and correction of fraud, corruption, and conflicts of
interests in the Implementing Partner’s activities.
2 Except for (a) assets and activities in power and/or heat generation, as well as related transmission and distribution
infrastructure, using natural gas, that are compliant with the conditions set out in Annex III of the ‘Do no significant
harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01) and (b) activities and assets under point (ii) for which the use of fossil fuels is
temporary and technically unavoidable for the timely transition towards a fossil fuel free operation. 3 Where the activity supported achieves projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not significantly lower than the
relevant benchmarks, an explanation of the reasons why this is not possible shall be provided. Benchmarks established
for free allocation for activities falling within the scope of the Emissions Trading System, as set out in the Commission
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447. 4 This exclusion does not apply to actions under this measure in plants exclusively dedicated to treating non-recyclable
hazardous waste, and to existing plants, where the actions under this measure are for the purpose of increasing energy
efficiency, capturing exhaust gases for storage or use or recovering materials from incineration ashes, provided such
actions under this measure do not result in an increase of the plants’ waste processing capacity or in an extension of the
lifetime of the plants; for which evidence is provided at plant level. 5 This exclusion does not apply to actions under this measure in existing mechanical biological treatment plants, where
the actions under this measure are for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency or retrofitting to recycling operations
of separated waste to compost bio-waste and anaerobic digestion of bio-waste, provided such actions under this measure
do not result in an increase of the plants’ waste processing capacity or in an extension of the lifetime of the plants; for
which evidence is provided at plant level.
81
c. The obligation to verify the eligibility of every operation in accordance with the
requirements laid out in the Funding agreement (or an amendment to an existing Fund
of Funds Agreement) before committing to finance an operation.
d. The obligation of carrying out risk-based ex-post checks in accordance with an internal
checks’ plan of INVEGA. These checks shall verify i) that the INVEGA’s control
systems are effective, including the detection of fraud, corruption, and conflict of
interests; ii) compliance with the DNSH principle and the State Aid rules; and iii) that
the requirement that final beneficiaries of the Facility have not received support from
other Union instruments to cover the same cost is respected. The audits shall also verify
the legality of the transactions and that the conditions of the applicable Funding
Agreement (or an amendment to an existing Fund of Funds Agreement) are being
respected.

F. COMPONENT 6: EFFICIENT PUBLIC SECTOR AND PRECONDITIONS TO RECOVER AFTER THE
PANDEMIC
This component of the Lithuanian recovery and resilience plan contributes to addressing challenges
linked to the tax system, tax compliance, the budgetary framework, human resource management in
the public sector and business insolvency management.The objectives of the component are to
improve tax compliance and balance the tax system; to improve public sector human resource
management; to improve medium-term budgetary planning and expenditure management; to
increase financial independence of municipalities; and to increase the variety of financial
instruments to boost public investment.
The component contains measures targeted at broadening the tax base to sources less detrimental to
growth, as well as legal and technical measures to improve tax compliance, and to improve the
design of the tax and benefit system to help reduce income inequality and poverty. It also
incorporates several reform measures related to the budgetary framework: establishment of a
medium-term budgetary planning and spending reviews, fine-tuning budget amendment procedures,
promoting the use of public-private partnerships in the process of public investment, revising the
municipal revenue structure, consolidating four national development institutions into one public
body and developing four digital tools which are expected to help businesses to manage insolvency
risks. In addition, the component comprises a reform on human resource management and staff
development in the public sector.
The component contributes to addressing the country-specific recommendation to improve tax
compliance and broaden the tax base to sources less detrimental to growth (Country Specific
Recommendation 1 2019). Furthermore, through additional tax revenues and potential savings
thanks to spending reviews, the component also contributes to addressing recommendations on
strengthening the tax and benefit system (Country Specific Recommendation 1 2019 and Country
Specific Recommendation 2 2020). A number of measures related to the budgetary framework
contribute to making public investment more efficient (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives
within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description
of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance
with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

inefficiencies within the economy, including in the area of the green transition.
The measure shall consist of an equity injection of EUR 136 565 646 into ILTE.
ILTE shall amend the investment policy for the use of the additional equity. The investment policy
shall include the description of the financial product(s) with the expected type of eligible final
beneficiaries that the additional equity is expected to initially support, including the expected

the additional equity the same audit and control system that was positively assessed by the
Commission in accordance with Article 157 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509.
The Investment Policy shall require that the financial products that the additional equity supports,
comply with the ‘Do no significant harm’ (DNSH) principle as set out in the DNSH Technical
Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the investment policy shall exclude the following list of
activities and assets from eligibility: (i) activities and assets related to fossil fuels, including
downstream use6, (ii) activities and assets under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving
projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks7 (iii) activities
and assets related to waste landfills, incinerators and mechanical biological treatment plants8.
Furthermore, in the case of general support to corporates, the investment policy shall exclude
companies with a substantial focus9 in the following sectors: (i) fossil fuel-based energy production
6 Except for (a) assets and activities in power and/or heat generation, as well as related transmission and distribution infrastructure,

(EU) 2021/447. 8 This exclusion does not apply to actions under this measure in existing mechanical biological treatment plants, where the actions
under this measure are for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency or retrofitting to recycling operations of separated waste to
compost bio-waste and anaerobic digestion of bio-waste, provided such actions under this measure do not result in an increase of
the plants’ waste processing capacity or in an extension of the lifetime of the plants; for which evidence is provided at plant level. 9 It is considered that a Final Beneficiary has a “substantial focus” on a sector or business activity if such sector or activity is
identified as being an essential part of the business activity of the Final Beneficiary respectively in relation to the gross revenue,
profit, or client base of the Final Beneficiary. The gross revenue generated from the restricted sector or activity shall, in any case,
not exceed 50% of the gross revenue.

their actual owners and sellers. With the entry into force of the amendments to the Law on the Road
Safety, a system of vehicle owners’ accounts has been introduced to identify the actual sellers and
owners of vehicles and to ensure that their tax obligations are met. Access to data of the vehicle
owners’ accounting system has been ensured for the State Tax Inspectorate.
The sub-measure shall be completed by 30 June 2021.
F.1.4.2. Sub-measure 2: Fair taxation of online economic activities
The aim of this sub-measure is to amend the national legislation in order to oblige online platform
operations to collect and report data on transactions carried out on online platforms to the tax
authorities by 31 January of the year following the calendar year to which the information relates.

H. COMPONENT 8: REPOWEREU
This component of the Lithuanian Recovery and Resilience Plan contributes to addressing
challenges linked to the green transition and in particular the need to lower GHG emissions,
including from the transport sector, increase energy efficiency in buildings and transport, and to
promote the development of additional electricity generation capacity from renewable sources.
The component envisages technical and financial support to speed up the renovations of multi-
apartment buildings to improve their energy efficiency. As regards mobility, the measure entails
support for the purchase and delivery of essential components for the zero-emission transport of
heavy goods along the Lithuanian inland waterways, thus reducing the road transport of goods on
the Lithuanian automotive highways. As regards the energy generation from renewable sources,
legislative changes that go beyond the transposition of RED II are planned to simplify
administrative requirements for the deployment of new renewable energy capacity, and a modelling
study of the Lithuanian energy system aims to identify ways to achieve 100% of total national
electricity consumption generated from RES. Additionally, financial solutions are planned for the
development of generation capacity from RES. These measures shall have a multi-country
dimension through the increased local RES generation and the reduction on reliance of fossil fuels.
The measures included in the component support addressing the country specific recommendation
(2022 CSR 4) to reduce overall reliance on fossil fuels by accelerating the deployment of
renewables, increasing energy efficiency and decarbonisation of industry, transport and buildings,
and ensure sufficient capacity of energy interconnections. In addition, the measures included in the
component support addressing the country specific recommendation (2023 CSR 4) to further reduce
reliance on fossil fuels and imported energy by accelerating the deployment of renewables, in
particular by ensuring sufficient grid capacity and access, ensuring the transformation and
decarbonisation of industrial production, increasing the uptake of public and sustainable transport
and making buildings more energy efficient, also to reduce energy poverty; to ensure sufficient
capacity of electricity interconnections to increase security of supply, continuing the timely
synchronisation with the EU electricity grid and to step up policy efforts aimed at the provision and
acquisition of the skills needed for the green transition.
H.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
H.1.1. Investment 1: “Accelerating renovation of buildings”
The objective of the investment is to support the building renovation process. The investment
consists of two sub-measures (1) update of renovation packages and standards (Sub-measure 1); (2)
support for renovation of buildings (Sub-measure 2).
H.1.1.1. Sub-measure 1: Update of renovation packages and standards
This sub-measure is the continuation of sub-measure B.1.3.1. (Update of building renovation
packages and standards and creation of a methodology for the development of sustainable cities).
This sub-measure consists of the preparatory work for the green panel renovation of six
demonstration buildings.
124
H.1.1.2. Sub-measure 2: Support for renovation of buildings (scaled-up)
This sub-measure is a scale-up of sub-measure B.1.3.4. (Support for renovation of buildings). The
objective of this sub-measure is to reduce energy consumption of multi-apartment buildings. The
sub-measure consists of the renovation of multi-apartment buildings. The RRF shall support part of
the costs of this investment. This investment may also receive support from other Union
programmes or instruments for costs that are not supported by the RRF.

crane.
H.1.3. Reform 1 “Increasing the generation capacity from RES”
The objective of this reform is to incentivise the production, transmission and consumption of
electricity from renewable sources, simplifying institutional and legal mechanisms, and providing
investment incentives for RES developers.
This reform consists of two sub-measures: (1) Improving the investment environment for RES
developers (Sub-measure 1); (2) Support for the construction of RES plants (solar) (Sub-measure
2).
H.1.3.1. Sub-measure 1: Improving the investment environment for RES developers
The objective of this sub-measure is to simplify the administrative requirements for the deployment
of new renewable energy capacity. This reform consists of a package of legislative changes which
contains elements going beyond the transposition of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). In
particular, the reform package shall:
- Define and regulate hybrid power plants: The reform shall make it possible to connect hybrid
RES plants (such as solar and wind) or energy storage facilities at one point of the electricity
grid without following a permitting procedure simply based on an addition of the installed
capacity. The connection of the hybrid power plant to the electricity grid shall be assessed on
the basis of an allowed generation capacity instead of the installed capacity.
- Require a single development permit and a single manufacturing permit for hybrid power plants.
- Waive the development and generation allowances for prosumers for new RES power plants up
to 100kW.
- Limit the duration of the permitting granting procedures to one year for new RES power plants:
The granting of the three main permits for the development of RES plants (permit for the
development of electricity generation capacity, building permit and permit for the production of
electricity) shall not take more than one year for new RES power plants.
H.1.3.2. Sub-measure 2: Support for the construction of RES plants (solar power)
This sub-measure is the continuation of sub-measure B.1.1.2 (Support for the construction of
individual storage facilities). The objective of this sub-measure is to provide support for the
125
production of renewable energy and to connect renewable energy communities. The sub-measure
consists of the installation and connection to the grid of electricity generation capacity.

SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
1. Arrangements for monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan
The monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan of the Lithuania shall take
place in accordance with the following arrangements:
The implementation of the plan shall be coordinated by the Ministry of Finance which shall also
perform the functions of a Managing Authority. The functions performed by Ministry of Finance as
the Managing Authority shall be separated from its other functions, including those of the Audit
Authority. The Audit Authority, comprising of two administrative units of the Ministry of Finance
and independent from the other administrative units of the Ministry, carries out audits according to
the adopted audit strategy. The sectoral ministries shall perform the responsibilities assigned to
them, mostly related to practical implementation of the plan. The public body Central Project
Management Agency (CPMA) shall be the Administering Authority responsible for project
monitoring and control, including on the spot checks, as well as for the drawing up and submission
of the payment request, submission of management declarations and summaries of audits.
The implementation and monitoring of the plan requires additional human resources. Around 16 full
time equivalent jobs shall be allocated in the Managing Authority within the institution’s existing
resources and around 100 new employees shall be hired in the CPMA to exercise plan-related
functions.
2. Arrangements for providing full access by the Commission to the underlying data
In order to provide full access to the Commission to the underlying relevant data, Lithuania shall
have in place the following arrangements:
The Ministry of Finance, as the central coordinating body for Lithuania’s recovery and resilience
plan and its implementation, is responsible for overall coordination and monitoring of the plan. In
particular, it acts as a coordinating body (together with CPMA), for monitoring progress on
milestones and targets and, where appropriate, implementing control and audit activities. CPMA is
providing reporting and requests for payments to the Commission. It coordinates the reporting of
milestones and targets, relevant indicators, but also qualitative financial information and other data,
such as on final recipients. The data encoding is taking place in a single information system
dedicated to management of the recovery and resilience plan and other EU funds for 2021-2027
period (INVESTIS) which shall be set up and become operational by 30 September 2023. This
system shall collect the necessary information to monitor the whole life cycle of the reforms and
investments, including milestones, targets and results and other information related to
implementation of the recovery and resilience plan (including the data required under Article
22(2)(d) of the Regulation (EU) 2021/241). During the transitional period (until INVESTIS
becomes fully operational), the national information systems currently in place shall be used to
compile the data referred to in Article 22(d) of the Regulation (EU) 2021/24124:
24 Specific data, required by Article 22(2)(d)(iii) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 may be stored in other databases. (CVP
IS, JADIS, CPMA Teams platform for monitoring milestones and targets, VBAMS, CPMA Document Management
System).
156
- The Monitoring Information System (SIS) containing data on investment projects financed by
the State budget, i.e. title, timing of implementation, need for funds, sources of financing, target
indicators, use of funds and other relevant information;
- Central Public Procurement Information System (CPI IS) which processes data relating to
procurement procedures and contains the names of the contractor and the subcontractor;
- Information System for the Participants of Legal Entities (JADIS), which contains shareholder
data of legal persons.
Once INVESTIS becomes operational, the data generated during the transitional period shall be
transferred to INVESTIS. The commitment to monitor the fulfilment of the RRF requirements,
including during the transition period when alternative IT systems shall be used, has been included
in the plan (see public sector component).
In accordance with Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, upon completion of the relevant
agreed milestones and targets in Section 2.1 of this Annex, Lithuania shall submit to the
Commission a duly justified request for payment of the financial contribution. Lithuania shall
ensure that, upon request, the Commission has full access to the underlying relevant data that
supports the due justification of the request for payment, both for the assessment of the request for
payment in accordance with Article 24(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and for audit and control
purposes.

Updated climate tracking and digital tagging of the recovery and resilience plan of Lithuania
The table below presents the detailed application of the climate tracking and digital tagging
methodologies set out respectively in Annexes VI and VII to Regulation (EU) 2021/241 in the
modified Lithuanian recovery and resilience plan.
• Int. Field = intervention field.
• Coeff. = Coefficient for the calculation of support to climate change objectives and to digital
transition, on the basis of Annex VI and Annex VII of the RRF Regulation.
• New or revised measures are marked in green to distinguish them from the unchanged measures
in the RRP.
• As the amount of the estimated total costs of the amended RRP is equal to the updated maximum
financial contribution available for Lithuania, all spending related to the measures mentioned in
this table as contributing to climate objectives are fully financed by the funds from the Recovery
and Resilience Facility.
• Reforms and investments in the REPowerEU chapter are not taken into account when calculating
the plan’s contribution to the digital target requirement set by Regulation (EU) 2021/241.
