European Commission attaches further conditions to the disbursement of EU funds for Hungary
According to the latest information from the European Commission, Hungary must meet further strict conditions in order to access funds from the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The Brussels-based body has defined so-called "super milestones" that the country must achieve to draw down the support.
These conditions primarily relate to the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, and anti-corruption measures. The European Union's goal is to ensure the transparent and regular use of EU taxpayers' money in all member states.
Negotiations between the Hungarian government and the European Commission regarding the release of the funds have been ongoing for some time. Government representatives have previously indicated that they are ready to cooperate in meeting Brussels' expectations so that the support, which is important for the economy, can arrive.
The RRF funds are crucial for Hungary, as this money can be spent on modernizing the economy, the green transition, and digital developments. The negotiations in the coming months will be decisive in determining the pace at which the funds become available to the country.
The process is currently underway, and experts are closely monitoring whether the Hungarian legislative changes meet EU expectations. The final decision will be made by the European Commission after a thorough examination of the fulfilled commitments.
