Orsolya Jeney quoted European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as saying that the results of referendums held in any EU member state concerning initiatives or decisions by the European Parliament, the European Council or the European Commissions do not have a binding effect on the EU’s institutions nor do they affect that member’s obligations towards the community.
