“It is encouraging to see the commitment and dedication of the new Hungarian government to swiftly proceed with its rule of law reforms,” Michael McGrath, the European Commissioner for the rule of law, said.
McGrath told a press conference following a meeting of the General Affairs Council that important and constructive discussions had taken place during the session regarding the state of the rule of law in four member states.
In addition to the country-specific discussions, Hungary also outlined its own commitment to the European path, McGrath said.
The European Commission will continue to cooperate constructively with Hungarian authorities to address remaining rule of law concerns, including issues related to the disbursement of EU funds, he added McGrath said that the EC remains ready to support member states in implementing its recommendations to ensure that the problems do not worsen.
