Nuclear decommissioning assistance programme of the Ignalina nuclear power plant in Lithuania for the period 2028-2034, and repealing Regulation (EU) 2021/101

This procedure concerns the nuclear decommissioning assistance programme for the Ignalina nuclear power plant in Lithuania for 2028-2034, repealing Regulation (EU) 2021/101. Amendments split over whether the programme envelope should stay unchanged or be increased from EUR 678 000 000, and stress that sufficient human resources and stable, predictable financial planning are needed for effective and sound budgetary implementation across the next multiannual financial framework. They link high nuclear safety to lower budgetary risk, recall a proposed performance regulation with streamlined indicators, and flag that continued dependency of several Central and Eastern European plants on Russian technology and fuel poses safety, energy and financial risks, inviting the Commission to assess the budgetary impact of a potential phase-out.
