Eurocommissioner Kadis to visit Lithuania

European Commissioner Kadis is set to visit Lithuania, engaging with key figures in the country's agricultural and fisheries sectors. During his first day, Kadis will meet with Agriculture Minister Andrius Palionis and Bronius Rope, the chairman of the Seimas Committee on Rural Affairs, along with other committee members. His itinerary also includes visits to fisheries companies. On Friday, the Commissioner will convene with representatives from the business and scientific communities. Kadis assumed his current role overseeing fisheries and oceans in December 2024, succeeding Lithuania's own Virginijus Sinkevičius. In his previous career, Kadis served as Cyprus's health minister and also led the ministries of education and culture, and agriculture. His responsibilities as European Commissioner include fostering a sustainable blue economy, ensuring ocean health, coordinating fishing regulations across EU member states, and combating illegal fishing globally.
