The Cabinet of Ministers appoints Skrodelis as a member of the board of the Liepāja Special Economic Zone

The Cabinet of Ministers, by Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 576, has appointed Ilze Skrodele to the position of board member of the Liepāja Special Economic Zone. The decision was announced in the official publication Latvijas Vēstnesis on September 24, 2026, in issue No. 184 (OP 2026/184), in the “Constitutional Institutions” section as item 31. By a separate Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 577, published in the same issue as item 32, Ilze Skrodele was granted permission to hold multiple positions.

Both decisions are Cabinet of Ministers orders published in a single issue and one immediately after the other — items 31 and 32.

The order numbers in this issue range from No. 557 to No. 582, and Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 576 and Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 577 are part of one and the same set of documents. It should be noted that Cabinet of Ministers Regulations with numbers No. 576 and No. 577 were also published in the same issue — these are a different type of document with a separate numbering series, therefore references must specify both the document type and the number.
