"The issue of financing early closure of the Bohunice nuclear power plant is a key priority not only for the nuclear sector, but also for the entire energy policy of the Slovak Republic. Slovakia is ready to meet its commitment set out in Protocol No. 9 to the EU Accession Treaty, despite the fact that it has invested EUR 250 million into modernising and improving safety at the Bohunice plant. This is in addition to the fact that, like several other EU countries, Slovakia has no important natural energy resources of its own, and the decommissioning of two units of this plant will significantly undermine its energy self-sufficiency. Public opinion in Slovakia is currently against decommissioning the Bohunice installation. People in Slovakia are very aware of the consequences of the energy crisis and related increases in electricity prices. As a result of this, any denial of the request for more financial resources from the European Union would play into the hands of the opponents of decommissioning. Backed up by the study that served as the basis for the discussions with the Commission, Slovakia has requested EUR 702 million, as against the EUR 237 million proposed by the Commission. The European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy has approved a compromise of EUR 400 million. I would like to take this opportunity to request that all of you display solidarity with my country, and lend your support to the proposal of the Committee on Industry."@en1
