The repealed 2015 procedure covered the municipality's intangible assets and long-term tangible assets, excluding immovable property and other immovable items, where the unit's residual book value — disregarding impairment recognised in the accounts — was below EUR 15,000.E TAR It set the local process for declaring such assets unnecessary or unsuitable (impossible) to use and for adopting write-off decisions.

Resolution No. 480 restates Resolution No. 1250 of 19 October 2001 in a new wording
E TAR; the restated Resolution No. 1250 approves the Description of the procedure for declaring state and municipal assets unnecessary or unsuitable for use and writing them off (Aprašas). In practical terms, write-off cases in the municipality now run under that restated national procedure rather than the former local one
