21 Commitments and contingencies
Litigations
Currently, the Company has one ongoing civil case against AB Achema regarding the award of the additional add-on to the natural gas transmission price for the security of natural gas supply (hereinafter - LNG terminal funds). The Company acts as an administrator of LNG terminal funds only, and transfers LNG terminal funds to their beneficiaries only after it collects them from buyers, therefore it does not incur any credit risk for the amount in dispute. The above civil case is still pending at first instance before the Kaunas Regional Court.
By its ruling of 20 January 2022, the Kaunas Regional Court suspended the part of the case concerning the claims for EUR 4,463,155.98 of the LNG terminal surcharge funds and EUR 53,359.95 in interest on late payment arising under the natural gas transmission service contract of 22 December 2014, pending the decision of the European Commission on the compatibility of the LNG terminal surcharge funds collected for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 with the state aid rules under the European Union law. By its ruling of 17 March 2022, the Court of Appeal of Lithuania upheld the ruling of the Kaunas Regional Court of 20 January 2022.
The other part of the case for late payment interest of EUR 763,119.55 under the natural gas transmission service contract of 21 December 2012 and the counterclaim, whereby AB Achema seeks to declare actions of the Company in calculating late payment interest under the natural gas transmission service contract of 21 December 2012 and in allocating the payments received on the basis of this contract from AB Achema for the purpose of setting off of the late payment interest unlawful and invalid, has been set for a hearing before court on 18 May 2022.
