The Lithuanian Parliament recently revealed the new draft Law on Lobbying Activities. Allegedly, it seeks to prevent unlawful lobbying and undue influence based on private interests. However, the law also attempts to regulate NGO activities as lobbying - it would also apply to employees of non-profit organizations. Lobbying is defined as acts that seek to influence politicians, officials or civil servants to pass or reject legislation. After the passage of said law, only registered lobbyists who have signed a pledge to the Chief Official Ethics Commission would be allowed to lobby.
