Central and Eastern European (CEE) Countries is an OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) term for the group of countries comprising Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and the three Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. I hope that answers your query @Edmund Wood WTO

Does anyone know what ‘CEE countries’ are? I do a lot of reading but I’ve never heard of them. (An important rule of journalism: always explain abbreviations on first use.)

Countries planning to build new nuclear power plants will spend billions, just to notice halfway what a waste this is, leaving ruins of unfinished nuclear projects, like in Kalkar in Germany!

Hungarian government is very committed to construct Paks II and wholesale prices seem to have not so much importance. It has also been recently confirmed that the government didn’t intend to see more wind turbines in the country. Currently it seems that the only obstacle to build Paks II is if EC finds any breach of related EU level regulations. EC has recently ended its proceedings and accepted that Hungary contracted Rosatom without any tendering process.
