Office of Lithuania’s EC delegate to be tun by diplomat Vinčiūnas

“He [Vytenis Andriukaitis] proposed to me to join the preparations [for hearings at the European Parliament (EP)]. He offered me those duties when he was nominated in Lithuania,” Vinčiūnas told BNS after Andriukaitis’ introduction at the EP.

The diplomat added that officials from the EP and other institutions he had talked to were positive about Andriukaitis’ answers to MEPs’ questions.

Lithuania’s former health minister on Tuesday was interviewed by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety and the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.
