  3. Non profit consultants – is this possible? Many RDAs choose to save on taxes by being registered as non profits. If RDA is not supported by public funds it looses it’s identity by moving where the money are (based on funding priorities). Mindaugas Danys, NRDA, Lithuania

  4. Multinationalism versus regionalism Western RDAs are active sellers of their services in the rest of the World What is the balance between their mission to promote their region and selling services abroad? What effect of accession will be on consulting fees with huge supply of cheaper consultants from CEEC Mindaugas Danys, NRDA, Lithuania

  5. Spending versus earning There is division between those RDAs that spend public funds on business development etc and those who earn money through tenders. Which are better? Which create more of public good? Shouldn’t RDAs separate its’ activities? Mindaugas Danys, NRDA, Lithuania

  6. CEEC versus Western Europe CEEC RDAs move towards the status of RDAs in WE but the process is slow and mixed in different areas. What will happen after EU accession? Mindaugas Danys, NRDA, Lithuania

  7. What is the future model of RDAs in CEEC? • Strong in consulting • Local roots but more services provided outside the region • Decreased links with shareholders • Increased private ownership by staff • Still strong in both administration of public funds and implementation of projects • Big business with Phare ESC Programme • No longer priority treatment for EU consultants • We have to become movers ann shakers not only in one’s region but in the country too. Mindaugas Danys, NRDA, Lithuania
