Hungary, Norway agree on restarting Norway Grants payments to NGOs
Budapest, December 9 (MTI) – The Norwegian government has agreed with Hungary to restart payments for Hungarian civil organisations under its Norway Grants scheme after suspending them in May 2014, a government official told reporters on Wednesday.
Norway said then that the reason it suspended the disbursement of funds was that the Hungarian government had moved the implementation and monitoring of the scheme out of the central government administration.
Responding to a journalist’s question on the sidelines of a conference, Nandor Csepreghy, parliamentary state secretary at the prime minister’s office, said the announcement was originally scheduled to be made at tomorrow’s government press briefing.
He said the government still believes that there are irregularities in the way certain civil organisations receive funding from the Norway Grants.
