At a joint exchange of views, the Parliament’s Budgets and Budgetary Control Committees examine the Commission’s plan to unlock up to EUR 16 billion in EU funds for Hungary. Executive Vice President Raffaele Fitto, Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration Commissioner Piotr Serafin, and Democracy, Justice, Rule of Law, and Consumer Protection Commissioner Michael McGrath represent the Commission.
Following Viktor Orbán’s election loss on 12 April, the BUDG and CONT Committees invited Vice-President Fitto, Commissioner Serafin, and Commissioner McGrath to discuss unfreezing EUR 16.4 billion in EU funds for Hungary. A political deal (29 May) tied the funds to key reforms. Hungary submitted a revised Recovery and Resilience Plan (10 June), targeting 27 supermilestones, anti-corruption measures, and EU financial interest protections. The Ecofin Council (10 July) is expected to approve it. MEPs will seek clarity on unlocking EUR 4.2 billion in cohesion funds and fundamental rights, particularly academic freedom.

Exchange of views on the conditions and procedures for unfreezing EU funds allocated to Hungary: Q&A - Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT) and Committee on Budgets (BUDG)

This News item presents extracts from the joint exchange of views of the Budgets and Budgetary Control Committees with Executive Vice President Raffaele Fitto, Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration Commissioner Piotr Serafin, and Democracy, Justice, Rule of Law, and Consumer Protection Commissioner Michael McGrath, on the conditions and procedures for unfreezing EU funds allocated to Hungary.

Conditions and procedures for unfreezing EU funds allocated to Hungary: extracts from the meeting with Raffaele FITTO, Executive Vice-President of European Commission, Piotr SERAFIN, European Commissioner and Michael MCGRATH, European Commissioner

This video presents extracts from the debate and from the vote on the Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034. Following the debate, Parliament will set out its mandate for talks with the member states on the EU’s next long-term budget in a vote. The text adopted in the Budgets Committee proposes a €1.78 trillion budget (2025 constant prices, €2.01 trillion in current prices) for the seven-year period, representing a nominal increase of €175.11 billion compared with the Commission’s July 2025 proposal (€197.30 billion in current prices). This means that the long-term budget would be set at 1.27% of EU GNI, with debt servicing for the NextGenerationEU (NGEU) recovery fund (0.11% of GNI) over and above the multiannual financial framework (MFF) ceilings. MEPs want this increase of approximately 10% to be allocated to key EU programmes, with no extra money for administration or the decentralised EU agencies.

Closing statements by Piotr SERAFIN, European Commissioner for Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration and Marie BJERRE, Danish Minister for European Affairs of the debate on the architecture and governance of the EU’s 2028-2034 long-term budget (multiannual financial framework - MFF). Parliament’s lead MEPs have warned that setting the spending ceiling at 1.26% of the EU-27’s gross national income, as proposed by the Commission in July, will force cuts to flagship programmes and will not meet citizens’ expectations while debt repayments on the post-pandemic recovery instrument loom.
