European Parliament Committee on Budgetary Control

A "big fight" will take place in European institutions for the sum to be provided to the decommissioning of Lithuania's Ignalina nuclear power plant (NPP) in the European Union's (EU) future financial perspective of 2021-2027, says Lithuania's former finance minister, MEP Zigmantas Balčytis.

Ingeborga Grassle, the leader of the European Parliament's (EP) delegation that is wrapping up its visit in Lithuania, says she lacks validation of the money Lithuania has requested for the decommissioning of its Ignalina nuclear power plant in the new financial perspective.
