Concerning the contracts between BE and BNFL which according to Greenpeace are designed to provide BNFL with a guaranteed income stream, the UK authorities note that most of these contracts were signed or renegotiated after BE was privatised and that therefore these contracts could not have been imposed on BE by the Government.
Seoses BE ja BNFL-i vaheliste lepingutega, mis on Greenpeace’i arvates mõeldud selleks, et tagada BNFL-ile kindel tuluvoog, märgivad Ühendkuningriigi ametivõimud, et enamik neist lepingutest sõlmiti või vaadati üle pärast BE erastamist ning seega ei saanud need lepingud olla BE-le valitsuse poolt peale surutud.
