"A second set of priorities that I see for myself and this government is a further reduction of dependence on a single source. First of all, this involves putting forward three bills during the spring session, namely: the LNG law, the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) law, and amendments to the Law on Heating Sector... talks on the Visaginas NPP (VAE) and debates on the required laws will be one of the key tasks during the parliamentary spring session." Dalia Grybauskaite, Lithuanian President, on 12 January 2012 (source: BNS)
