EU commission recommends funding freeze for Hungary

On rule of law shortfall

30 November, 15:05
(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, NOV 30 - The European Commission on Wednesday recommended 13 billion euros ($13 billion) in EU funds for Hungary be frozen because Budapest is falling short on its commitments to meeting European rule of law. The EU executive said Hungary had in particular failed to make good on promised reforms to ensure a fair judicial system when it comes to prosecutorial decisions. EU member states will now have until December 19 to vote on whether to back, reject or change the commission recommendation. (ANSA-AFP).
