". Lithuania, Slovakia and Bulgaria had old, Soviet-period nuclear plants that the international community decided could not be upgraded to meet minimum safety requirements for an economically reasonable cost. The accession negotiations were used to get the three nuclear power plants closed by a set date and subsequently dismantled. 2.7 billion euro was set aside for this over the 1999-2013 period. At the end of 2009, EUR 1.8 billion of this had already been allocated. Despite this, there have been considerable delays in the implementation of the dismantlement programmes. The European Parliament fears that these delays will lead to risks for the environment and human health. I am satisfied with this report, not least because this House backed my amendments, which were tabled in the Committee on Budgetary Control and called for the funds to be managed and their resources to be used with absolute transparency. The European Parliament also adopted my proposal to have the Commission report annually to Parliament and inform us of whether its forecasts that the resources set aside will be absorbed over the next three years prove accurate. This report forms the basis for very close monitoring of this process and that is a positive thing from a wide variety of points of view."@en1
