In principle, the project is supposed to be financed partly by the Member States concerned and partly by the EU. However, the EU refuses to make a legally binding promise for the period after 2013 and, as a result, is leaving the aforementioned countries in a state of uncertainty.
In principe moet het project ten dele door de betrokken lidstaten en ten dele door de EU worden gefinancierd, maar de EU is niet bereid om een juridisch bindende toezegging te doen voor de periode na 2013, en laat de genoemde landen dus in de steek.
