It shall be stated in the article that according to the US Legislation, America will not only exclude UK companies selling arms breaching the EU embargo to China, from their market but the US will also stop the exchange of military expertise and technology towards the EU. Despite the fact that the EU Embar­go has no legally binding force, the export of all high technology weapons from UK companies to China will not be allowed by the Government’s arms export control of the UK.

To circumvent the UK arms export and so as to preserve their intellectual property, the companies of the UK would have to own their private subsidiar­ies in China. The aim of the Chinese government, recording to a PEST analy­sis, is to gain this technology in order to become self-sufficient and therefore would not allow this kind of investments.

The dual vocational education system in Germany is recognised as a model worldwide. The second decade of the 21st century is unfolding under the visible effects of the technological revolution, social changes and intensified migration flows. Difficulties in filling vacant working places, the need to intensify professional orientation, closer cooperation among schools influence the development of new solutions for the system. In relation to the Polish vocational education reform, such paradigms as employer and school, student and master, vocational orientation, professional integration of migrants acquire new meanings. The current problems of the German dual system and its possible solutions become a reference for the current discussion on young people’s vocational education in Poland.

This article aims to analyze the use of new technologies (ICT) in the election process in Lithuania, understood as election procedures and electronic voting. While ICT is widely used in the registration of voters, calculating voting results, or announcing election results, so far, the concept of electronic voting in Lithuania raises many concerns. However, it is anticipated that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, new regulations may be adopted, and electronic voting will contribute to the modernization of election procedures and help maintain sanitary requirements in the current crisis. Based on the analysis of legal acts, reports of international organizations, and the results of academic research, the author proves that new technologies significantly affect the operation of the broadly understood electoral apparatus. They can also increase electoral accessibility and participation, improve electoral processes in the context of new challenges, and stimulate the international visibility of the state.
