EC Refers Hungary To Court Of Justice Over Natl Mobile Payment System
- 18 Nov 2016 8:00 AM
The European Commission said that it had referred Hungary to the Court of Justice of the European Union over its national mobile payment system. The exclusive right granted to stateowned company Nemzeti Mobilfizetési to provide mobile payment services is an unjustified obstacle to the provision of services in the single market, the EC said.
The commission stepped up its infringement procedure against Hungary on the matter, bringing it to the second phase, more than two years earlier. The mobile payment system was launched on July 1, 2014.
