Who enforces it
Enforcement body
Communications Regulatory Authority (Ryšių reguliavimo tarnyba, RRT), Lithuania's market-surveillance authority and single point of contact under the EU AI Act; the institution the Government authorises to implement state technology and innovation policy performs the notifying authority functions.
Settledness
RRT's page describes the roles of the Ministry of Economy and Innovation, the Innovation Agency and the market surveillance authorities as the model of a draft implementing law that would apply only once adopted, and also says that RRT is the market surveillance authority and the Innovation Agency the notifying authority today.

- Open questions
- Does the designation of RRT in Article 1(2) of the Law on Information Society Services as the 'nacionalinės kompetentingos institucijos – rinkos priežiūros institucijos' leave the sectoral market surveillance authorities, which RRT's own page says also supervise directly applicable AI Act provisions ('kitos sektorinės rinkos priežiūros institucijos'), in charge of their sectors?
- Which institution is the 'Vyriausybės įgaliota institucija' that Article 13 of the Law on Technology and Innovation makes the one performing the notifying authority's functions under point 12-2 of Article 14(2), given that the Law names no agency?
- Has the minister of economy and innovation set the manner in which the institution is to run the AI regulatory sandbox under point 12-3 of Article 14(2), which Article 9(5) of Law No. XV-105 required by ?
