Prime Minister Orbán: Hungary Is In A Better Situation At SummitThan It Was In November
- 10 Feb 2013 10:00 AM
EU heads of state and government met in Brussels to negotiate the European Union’s next Multiannual Financial Framework, for 2014-2020. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday that it is more likely for heads of EU member states to leave Brussels with an agreement than without one. He told Hungarian journalists that everything is heading in that the direction and at a speed which corresponds with Hungary’s interests.
Prime Minister Orbán said that he considered the situation better than it had been in November, but added that a consensus could only be reached if participants saw eye to eye on every issue.
He called it the greatest challenge of the summit whether British interests can be reconciled with continental interests, as representatives of the United Kingdom insist on putting a cap on actual payments, while other participants are focusing more on commitments.
The Hungarian Prime Minister also held a bilateral meeting during the night with Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council.
