Resumen

The purpose of this Law is to create conditions for revealing the private interests of persons working in the public service and persons referred to in Article 4 (3) of this Law, to ensure that public interests are given priority in decision-making, and to prevent conflicts of interest and spreading of corruption. A conflict of interest is a situation in which a declaring person, in the performance of his or her official duties or in the performance of an official assignment, has to accept or participate in a decision or execute an order which also relates to his or her private interests. Private interests shall be intended an interest of the declaring person (or a person close to him/her) in personal property or non-property benefits, moral debt, moral obligation or other similar interest of the declaring person (or a person close to him/her) in the performance of official duties. The public interest is the public interest in ensuring that declarants make all decisions impartially and fairly. To ensure the overriding public interest, declaring persons must: (a) perform official duties impartially, honestly and properly; (b) in accordance with the procedure and measures established by legal acts, to avoid a conflict of interests and to act in such a way that there is no doubt that such a conflict exists; (c) not to use official duties or official status for personal gain; (d) to follow the laws and the principle of equality of all persons when making decisions; (e) not to use non-public official information for non-official activities; (f) not to use or allow others to use state or municipal property for non-official activities, except for the exceptions established by laws or resolutions of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. Declaring persons must declare private interests in accordance with the procedure established by this Law. Persons applying for employment in the public service shall declare private interests in the cases and in accordance with the procedure established by this Law. The declarant shall be prohibited from participating in the preparation, deliberation or decision-making or otherwise influencing or attempting to influence them, or from performing any other official duties, if the performed official duties are related to his/her private interests. The Register of Private Interests is established in accordance with the procedure established by the Law on Management of State Information Resources of the Republic of Lithuania. The Register is intended for the registration of the Register objects, collection, accumulation, processing, systematization, storage and provision of the Register data to the recipients of the Register data and other actions of the Register data processing.
