OBS_VALUE: Lithuania applies screening for foreign investments in certain economic sectors important to national security. This includes also rail transport services. While screening in these sectors is not mandatory, the procedure may be started at any stage (including ex-post investment) at the initiative of the entities responsible for the protection of national security such as the Government, Minister, Bank of Lithuania and other institutions laid down in the Law. The amendment in 2018 provided more clarity on the economic sectors deemed important to national security.
