Ukrainian Embassy, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish and Estonian Chambers of Commerce together with Lithuanian employment service invite you to meet and discuss about the situation.

The 10th Conference was meant to address sustainable finance, and this topic will be present. But the short and long-term impact of the war and possible solutions for businesses, while keeping the focus upon resilience, adaptation, and sustainable recovery, will now prevail.

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce International – Europe is very pleased to invite you to join us at our webinar on May 19, 2022, reflecting on the upcoming General elections in Sweden which will take place on September 11, 2022.

Our non-profit organization SOS Ukraine has been officially requested to coordinate supplies to Ukraine of modern IT, telecoms, and logistics equipment by the official letter from the Ukrainian Minister of Strategic Industries (enclosed here). In order to streamline the delivery, we have teamed up with the Lithuanian Ministry of Economy to create a dedicated assistance program Clear Sky.

The objectives of the Clear Sky Programme include helping Ukraine in resolving the short-term issues and satisfying the established needs by way of coordinated purchase and supply of drones, networking devices, VPN accounts/licenses, thermal vision equipment etc. At the same time, the Ukrainian beneficiaries have requested the Programme to cater to more long-term needs and provide more sustainable solutions. This might include testing and piloting in Ukraine brand new technologies, such as increased security solutions for drones, various forms of satellite communications, the transmission of data by light/laser, decentralized mobile networks, and other forms of independent and secure communication networks.

We hereby request to indicate your interest in the participation as a Programme donor by way of a financial donation and/or contribution by way of supply of a specific technology.

The transition to the taxation of distributed profits would increase investments and help the economy to recover from the crisis as quickly as possible, according to the Lithuanian Free Market Institute (LFMI). Simultaneously, it would create new jobs, increase economic efficiency and people‘s income.

At the end of 2021, the European Commission (the EC) released a “Proposal for a council directive on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational groups in the Union”. The directive would place a 15 percent minimum effective corporate income tax (CIT) on large-scale company groups. The EC claims that the directive will address tax challenges caused by digitalization and ensure that companies pay “a fair share of tax.”
