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.
