Amendment 47 #
Recital 6
(6) Following the request for further funding from Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovakia, provision has been made in the Commission proposal for the next Multi- Annual financial framework for the period 2014-2020: ‘'A Budget for Europe 2020’‘5 for a sum of EUR 700 million from the general budget of the European Union for nuclear safety and decommissioning. From this the amount EUR 500 million in 2011 prices which is about EUR 553 million in the current prices is foreseen for a new Programme to further support the decommissioning of the Bohunice V1 units 1-2 and the Ignalina units 1-2 over the period from 2014 to 2017 and the Kozloduy units 1-4 nuclear power plants over the period from 2014 to 2020. Funding under this new Programme should be made available in a gradually decreasing manner. The purpose of decommissioning is to proceed with the implementation as foreseen by the decommissioning plan, with focus on key decommissioning projects and with the aim of reaching an end-state in the process.
Amendment 58 #
Recital 7
(7) The support covered by this Regulation should ensure seamless continuation of decommissioning and concentrate on measures to reach an irreversible state within the safe decommissioning process, as such bringing the greatest Union added value, while ensuring the transition towards Member State funding for the completion of decommissioning. The ultimate responsibility for nuclear safety remains with the Member States concerned, which also implies the ultimate responsibility for its financing, including the financing of decommissioning. Failure to comply with this obligation puts Union citizens at risk. This Regulation does not prejudice the outcome of any future State aid procedures that may be undertaken in accordance with Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty.
Amendment 62 #
Recital 11
(11) An effective control of the evolution of the decommissioning process will be ensured by the Commission in order to assure the highest Union added value of the funding allocated within this Regulation, although the final responsibility for the decommissioning rests with the Member States. This includes effective performance measurement, through clear pre-set objectives scrutinized via viable performance indicators and assessment of corrective measures during the programme.
Amendment 63 #
Recital 12
