Hungarian Government’s Reaction To EC’s Procedures Against Hungary
"On 17 January 2012, the European Commission decided to launch three infringement procedures against Hungary. The Hungarian government takes note of the Commission's decision to examine the compliance of certain Hungarian laws with the acquis communautaire following the procedures laid down in the Treaty.

Hungary regards this as an opportunity to engage in a technical dialogue based on verifiable facts with the competent authority, the European Commission, acting as the guardian of the Treaties.

The Hungarian government considers the independence of the Central Bank, the Judiciary and the Data Protection Authority as important as does the European Commission.

Therefore there is no disagreement with the institutions of the European Union on the importance of basic principles, common European values and achievements.

A thorough analysis of the Commission’s arguments will be started.

Our aim is to give satisfactory and comprehensive answers to the questions raised, and to find a solution for the problematic issues as soon as possible, preferably without going through the full infringement procedure.

(Office of the Government’s Spokesperson)
