Seminar
|
The more than 100 fish processing plants in Lithuania
are located all over the country and the effects of the manufacturing activities
on the eco-systems – whether that is the Baltic Sea, the lakes, the rivers or
the close by living areas are widespread and immense.
Cleaner technology, optimisation of resource consumption, implementation of
Environmental Management and fulfilment of demands associated with protection of
the environment in general and in line with the regulations imposed on the
Industry in the EU have so far been badly neglected in Lithuania both by the
industry and by the authorities.
Such neglect can within short prove to be a disaster
for the industry. The costs of water, of energy and of treatment of wastewater
are rising sharply and affect the cost calculations negatively and will lead to
in-competitiveness and company bankruptcies.
Many companies focus on the nearby markets in Western
Europe. An increasing amount of products manufactured by the Lithuanian fish
processing industry will in the years to come – short and medium term – be
offered to western hyper- and supermarket chains. The price will be decisive but
the image of the industry as polluters of the environment may in these countries
negatively affect the consumer’s interest in the products and thus negatively
affect the companies sales and profitability.
Finally, non-compliance with the EU regulations may –
when Lithuania becomes a member state – be an obstacle for some companies to
future activity either for a period or permanently.
Introduction of cleaner technology, training of local institutional
technologists in cleaner technology and design, presentation and implementation
of an Environmental Management System for the Lithuanian fish processing
industry as presented on this seminar will help to solve this latent problem.
