During their visit to Brussels last week, Lithuanian MPs were shown a presentation saying that the EU would allocate no money for the INPP closure after 2020.
"Based on the EU Council's decision, additional 400 million euros have been allocated for the INPP closure in the next financial perspective and this will be the last aid allocation until the complete decommissioning of the INPP," an official of the Commission's Directorate General for Energy, who showed the presentation, said.
Later, when asked by the Lithuanian guests to explain this position, Thomas Kirchner, another official of the institution, said: "Obviously, the European Commission has a different opinion on this matter than Lithuania."
