TRADE AND INVESTMENT
UK Development Assistance
Lithuania benefited from many programmes under DFID's bilateral programme (former Know How Fund), which ended in 2003. The UK continues to have a small bilateral programme (the 'EU Action Plan') which aims to further enhance both Government and civil society capabilities with working in the EU context.
The UK is also a significant contributor to the EU technical assistance programme, which focuses on economic and political restructuring and assistance with accession issues. The main thrust of British Military assistance to the Baltic States has been English-language and basic infantry training for BALTBAT, the Baltic Peacekeeping Battalion.
Trade and Investment with the UK
Lithuania is the largest UK export market in the Baltic States and in 2004 was our 73rd largest market with the value of goods totalling £140.8m. The main UK exports were textile yarn, fabrics, articles of apparel and clothing accessories, telecommunications and power generating machinery. The main Lithuanian imports to the UK are ores and metal scrap, clothing, furniture and fertilisers.
