fecer Positional Papers ,

The Fédération Européenne des Cadres de l’Énergie et de la Recherche (FECER) supports the Independent Trade Union of Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (ITU INPP) in its call for employee representation on the INPP board. Aligning with European best practices, we emphasize that employee participation in governance strengthens transparency, improves decision-making, and upholds the principles of social partnership across the European Union. Given that the Lithuanian INPP decommissioning project benefits from EU funding, integrating employee representation would demonstrate a strong commitment to inclusive and collaborative corporate governance.

The two 1500 MW reactors, commissioned in 1983 and 1987, were the most powerful in the world at the time. A third of the 4 planned reactors was under construction when Lithuania chose to join the European Union. 5,000 men and women were producing electricity in the geographical triangle of Lithuania, Latvia and Belarus.
