KIEV, Sept. 19 – Representatives of the Green faction in the European Parliament have criticized an agreement to design and erect a new safety shell over the damaged fourth reactor unit at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant signed between the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant state company and France's Novarka.

"These funds could be used more efficiently," Rebecca Harms, a member of the European Parliament, said in an interview with Deutsche Welle on Tuesday.
