"Mr President, I would like to draw attention to two important and specific aspects of the multiannual financial framework: funding the decommissioning of Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant and support for farmers in the Baltic States. As we meet here today in Strasbourg, Baltic farmers who have gathered for a meeting in Brussels say that Europe is insulting us and taking us for fools by allocating us payments that are four times lower. How long can this go on? We talk about a level playing field in all resolutions and directives so let us finally create one.
Lithuania undertook to decommission the nuclear power plant and has done so. The European Union undertook to finance its decommissioning but has not done this fully. Three times less money than is needed is to be earmarked for the decommissioning of Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant until 2017, while the further decommissioning, which may last until 2029 at the earliest, is not to be financed. I would like to stress that this is clear backsliding from the Treaty of Accession and the provisions contained in its Protocol No 4. In legal terms this may be seen as a violation of the Treaty of Accession."@en1
