Short-term priorities:
Assessment (November 2000)
Alignment in the field of maritime safety has begun, but major efforts are needed to ensure that it is implemented.
Assessment (November 2001)
Although Lithuanian legislation on maritime safety has been aligned with the acquis, more work is required to put in place the administrative structures and capacity necessary to apply the acquis.
Assessment (October 2002)
Legislative alignment in the maritime sector is progressing well. Training of maritime safety personnel is on-going. Following the recent setting-up of the independent Lithuanian Maritime Safety Administration, staff levels will need to be increased in order further to improve the flag State performance.
Assessment (November 2003)
Please refer to the fact sheets on the adoption of the Community acquis.
