European Commission urges anti-corruption reforms in Hungary
In a recently published report, the European Commission has called on Hungary and Spain to take more decisive steps in the fight against corruption. According to the EU body, both countries must implement important reforms to strengthen the rule of law and transparency.
Brussels primarily expects the protection of judicial independence and greater transparency in the use of public funds. The report highlights that the introduction of more effective control mechanisms is essential for increasing trust in public institutions and preventing abuses.
According to the European Commission's recommendations, member states should apply stricter rules regarding conflicts of interest and improve the integrity of public procurement procedures. These steps are crucial for the regular and efficient use of EU funds.
For Hungary, implementing these reforms is important not only to meet EU expectations but also to maintain economic stability. The government must submit detailed plans in the coming months on how it intends to fulfill the requirements set out by the European Commission.
Monitoring this process will remain on the agenda of EU institutions. Further discussions are expected to take place between Brussels and the member states in the coming period regarding the details of the specific measures and their timeline.
