(6a) In the case of Lithuania, Protocol No. 4 states that "Union assistance under the Ignalina Programme will be seamlessly continued and extended beyond 2006", adding that "the overall average appropriations under the extended Ignalina Programme shall be appropriate for the period of the next Financial Perspectives". On the contrary, in the case of Bulgaria, Article 30 of the 2005 Act of Accession refers only to the period 2007-2009, and in the case of Slovakia the 2003 Treaty of Accession refers only to the period 2004-2006. Therefore, for further funding for Bulgaria and Slovakia, Article 203 of the Euratom Treaty must be applied, whereas Protocol No. 4 serves as a legal basis for Lithuania.
