Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS VILNIUS 001117 SIPDIS STATE FOR EUR/NB AND PM/ISO E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: MARR, MOPS, EAIR, KREC, LH, HT17 SUBJECT: LITHUANIAN MINISTRIES WORKING ON EUROCONTROL FEE REF: SECSTATE 182790 1. (U) We have approached the MFA at various levels to seek an exemption of U.S. military and other U.S. state aircraft from air navigation, overflight, and terminal navigation fees. MFA Undersecretary Sarunas Adomavicius promised the Ambassador on August 31 to look into the matter, and others within the MFA from Department director to working level have indicated there is political will to grant the exemption. Darius Mereckis of MFA's NATO Division said he will coordinate with the Ministry of Transportation in order that they direct the Lithuanian airport authority not to assess such fees against U.S. state and military aircraft and to instruct Eurocontrol to cease collection efforts for outstanding fees. 2. (U) We will follow up aggressively on this matter at different agencies and levels. MULL
