From FR website:
Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (8th June), urged passengers to book flights directly with Ryanair and not through financially unstable travel agents or travel websites
From FR-related news:
Fraudulent activity by web users in two countries in Europe has led Ryanair to restrict passengers in both markets, so they can only book up to seven days before a flight.

The low cost carrier says the restriction will affect passengers booking from the eastern European countries of Latvia and Lithuania after monitoring higher fraudulent activity than elsewhere on the network.
So, Latvians and Lithuanians book through travel agents, in spite of the fact some of these sellers could be fraudulent. Why?

I agree with one of the earlier opinions. Lithuanians and Latvians want to fly with Ryanair, but are being offered just English-language booking system in their countries. It's not enough.

Also e.g. the Russian people flying from Finland use travel agencies. The threshold too high?
