    The Republic of Lithuania, in common with other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, is currently undergoing a transition period from a centrally planned economy to a market based system and is in the process of restructuring public sector institutions and revising former legislation. In 26 of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), this process is underway in a variety of stages and approaches, or has been completed. A wide range of refo rms has been necessary in all sectors of the economy including agriculture and food production. Important legislative, institutional and administrative changes have been identified that must take place in a number of key sectors including the laboratories sector in order to facilitate the implementation of Agreements such as the European Free Trade Agreement and other EU requirements. In the case of the Republic of Lithuania, a Free Trade Agreement between the European Union (EU) and the Republi c of Lithuania was signed in 1994, which later was changed by the Association (Europe) Agreement.

    Land reform experiences. Some lessons from across South Asia 2018

    This study draws on some case studies of land reforms in different South Asian countries. These reforms came on the national and international agenda in a major way in the post- World-War II period and were led by the transition theory, requiring agriculture to provide both surplus and labor for the growth of a modern industrial economy and leading to focus on efficiency in agricultural production (which would release resources -capital and labor- for investment in the modern industrial sector), rather than on distribution. The study also attempts to assess the role of peasant organizations and civil societies in bringing land reform issues to the forefront. Though the State is the main actor in the land reform process, the role played by peasants, workers, in fact the society as a whole, should not be underestimated.
