"As part of the EU accession negotiations, Lithuania, Slovakia and Bulgaria negotiated support for the decommissioning of old nuclear reactors of Soviet design that, in the opinion of the international community and in line with the 1992 Munich G7 summit, could not be adapted to minimum required safety standards at an economically acceptable cost. In the context of the accession negotiations, the three countries undertook to close and subsequently decommission these reactors on fixed dates. Recognising that early closure represented an exceptional financial burden, and in solidarity, the European Union undertook to provide adequate additional financial assistance for the decommissioning of these reactors up to the end of 2013. The assistance programme has been subject to regular audits and assessments. The European Court of Auditors (ECA) is currently carrying out audits of the results of the three programmes, and a report is expected in autumn 2011. It can already be concluded that synergies could have been created between the three projects to make the EU action more efficient and effective. I voted in favour of this report, from which I would stress the Commission’s recommendation for harmonising the rules on funding the decommissioning of nuclear reactors."@en1
