"The majority of the issues mentioned in this report on the European Union’s outermost regions (ORs) also apply to Lithuania. Significant social and economic disparities between Lithuania and other regions of the European Union can still be observed. According to Ismeri Europa and a report by the European Commission on the achievements of cohesion policy in Lithuania, it can be said that a lack of clear priorities is still limiting the effectiveness of this policy. Cohesion policy is being pursued slowly in Lithuania, partly due to poor leadership. In Lithuania, Structural Fund applicants still complain about inflexible administrative mechanisms and questionable transparency: the application procedure often lasts more than a year, and following their initial application, applicants are unable to change any terms or conditions. Given the rapidly changing business environment, more flexible and free conditions should be introduced to revise drafts that have already been submitted. If cohesion policy was applied properly, it could give Lithuania enormous potential."@en1
