Lithuania will wait to sign a shale-gas exploration agreement with Chevron Corp. until Parliament amends laws to strengthen environmental regulations, Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius said.
“We’ll sign the agreement after Parliament adopts the legislation, which in the best case could be three weeks after Easter,” Butkevicius told reporters today in Vilnius, the capital. “Hopefully in early May we can start getting ready for actual exploration.”
