Danuta Pavilenene, BC, Vilnius, 23.12.2010.Print version
The Seimas in Lithuania has supported the presidential veto, refusing to reduce the excise duty on alcoholic beverages.
In a vote on Thursday, amendments to the Law on Excise Duty were dismissed by 69 MPs to 8, with 18 abstentions. The excise duty remains at 4,416 litas (1,276 euros) per 100 litres of ethyl alcohol in Lithuania.
