“NO” to the names, “YES” to the companies.

Last week EFPCz sent to the State Language Inspectorate a letter, which contains a list of companies whose names, according to the Foundation, are inconsistent with a number of legal standards existing in Lithuania, including in particular the Constitution of RL. These are among others Teletower, Ademax,Aqua Express, KVWC LX ir Imon T. Norkausprojektavimo (Lithuanian companies) and Alpiq Energija Lietuva, Maxima, Swedbank, IFOSanitär, Rockwool (foreign companies). In its letter the Foundation highlights violation of many laws, resulting from using in the names symbols and letters, which do not exist in the Lithuanian alphabet. This fact is an essential argument to refuse permission to using the original Polish name spelling of Lithuania citizens. Have the Damocles sword hanged above the companies? We doubt it, but we are waiting for  the course of events and the statements of the Inspection. We will inform you about any progress in the case.
