".
Community assistance under the Ignalina programme is delivered in two ways. The first is directly to the beneficiary country using a mechanism based on one of the European Community’s pre-accession financial instruments, PHARE. The second, covering the bulk of assistance, is delivered through an international fund managed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the EBRD. The Community is the main, but not sole, contributor to that fund. The commissioning of a nuclear power plant is a long process, often spanning decades, and involves the planning and construction of large complex facilities. Related projects will often only be commissioned several years after a contract has been signed.
For the specific case of EBRD-managed projects, the rules of the Ignalina decommissioning support fund require that before contracts can be concluded on any project sufficient funds must be available on the EBRD’s account. That is normal project management practice. That situation leads to contracts being awarded that will not be completed for several years and, clearly, do not require disbursement of all budget costs. As a consequence, the annual appropriations for the Ignalina programme will not necessarily match payments in any one year. Payments in any given year may even exceed the actual annual Community commitment to the fund."@en1
