VILNIUS， Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Lithuanian government on Thursday approved amendments to the country's legislation that legalizes registered partnership between man and woman.
According to the country's government， the approved amendments regulate rights and duties of different gender persons who live together but have not registered their marriage. The cabinet's approved amendments need to be adopted at the Seimas， the Lithuanian parliament.
Lithuania's minister of justice Juozas Bernatonis emphasizes that the country is one of a few European Union member countries that have not legally established partnership between the man and the woman.
"Today the government made a very important step that will ensure appropriate protection of the rights and interests of tens of thousands of couples and their children，" Bernatonis was quoted as saying by ELTA news agency.
He expressed his hope that the country's parliament "will follow the government's example".
The amendments are aimed at protecting the rights of non-married persons living together and their children， according to an announcement from the government.
According to the Lithuanian government， the legalization of partnership between the man and the woman is important for around 200，000 persons living together without a registered marriage.
Recent surveys show 84 percent of the country's population support the registered partnership between the man and the woman. Enditem

San Lorenzo， Huracan and Racing Club， three first division Argentinian clubs， have their own stands at the fair located in Palermo， a neighborhood in the northern part of Buenos Aires. It is hoped that this year the book fair will attract over one million visitors.

It is unfortunate in international soccer that Africa has often failed to live up to its potential.
The continent boasts some of the world's most talented players under armour fat tire suomi , a lot of passionate fans and soccer is widely played and watched. Yet its countries have often underperformed on the world stage, while beset by myriad controversies like not paying players, mismanagement and bureaucratic tomfoolery. As if all of this was not enough under armour sling flex suomi , a more "natural" problem is threatening to derail African soccer in the near future.
Last week saw 2015 African Cup of Nations qualifiers played during the international break. However, the tournament itself may not even take place, due to the Ebola virus. Host Morocco asked the continental soccer body CAF to postpone the event because it is worried about having to monitor for the disease with the huge numbers of fans who will be coming from all over Africa for the tournament.
It is a reasonable request under armour slingride tri suomi , because the Ebola epidemic, which has killed over 4,500 under armour spine disrupt suomi , has ravaged West Africa and is giving even developed nations like the United States fits.
Of course, this being African soccer, there is a bit of confusion. It was earlier reported that Morocco sent a letter to the continental body asking for the event under armour micro g anatomix spawn suomi , scheduled for January, to be postponed or moved to another country, with CAF agreeing to discuss this in a meeting in November. How-ever under armour speedform apollo twist suomi , a report in the Independent on Thursday said Morocco has -officially withdrawn as host.
CAF is insisting that the tournament takes place as scheduled. It is looking to a few other nations to serve as hosts, but one, South Africa under armour speedform apollo vent suomi , is reportedly not so eager to do so.
Morocco's suggestion to postpone the African Cup next year might be the most practical move. This will deprive -Africa of its showcase, but given the next one is in three years' time in 2017, it is not such a big loss. Lives are at stake and no country can risk an Ebola outbreak during a major tournament with fans from all over the continent.
The CAF needs to get things straight regarding the tournament under armour clutchfit drive 2 suomi , otherwise it will be the latest example of African soccer mismanagement.
