In 2007-11-15 Lithuanian Securities Commission agreed on the Rules of Alternative securities market First North in Lithuania. Not receiving Lithuanian Securities Commission agreement was mainly the reason Alternative market did not opened in summer. Now only Vilnius Stock Exchange, which will operate Alternative market, determines when this market is opened. Certainly, the fact that this market is opened does not mean to investor anything. The main thing is whether there is companies listing on Alternative market.

For example, there is no companies listing on Alternative market in Latvia, though the market is opened since 2007-06-01.
