The Report On the Fund's Activities in 2009 states that the EU has been the main contributor to the fund for decommissioning the nuclear reactor, providing €90 million in pre-entry assistance to Slovakia from PHARE Funds and another €100 million in the 2004-06 period. Finally, €423 million has been allocated from the so-called Financial Perspective 2007-13 programme. BIDSF has also received financial resources from other contributors, amounting to another €11 million.
A total of 19 grant agreements regarding 46 projects have been concluded so far.
The Economy Ministry submitted the materials to the Government, as the ministry supervises and co-ordinates the decommissioning process under the framework agreement between Slovakia and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). In co-operation with the European Bank, the ministry extended the activities of BIDSF until the end of 2016.
