Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: As part of the criteria for Bulgaria's bid for entering the European Union, Bulgaria has already shut down units 1 and 2 in Kozloduy in 2003, and is to shut the other two units by the end of the year. Also due to delayed deliveries of coal for some thermal plants, Bulgaria's electricity exports for the Balkan Peninsula would be ceased to secure the local electricity supply, the minister said, adding that the EC had promised to do its best to plug the power shortfall in the region.
