EU could amend migration pact?

Because member states did not adopt the European Union’s migration and asylum pact in a unanimous vote, with some voting against it or abstaining, it is possible that the new European Parliament may make certain corrections to the agreement, the prime minister’s chief domestic security advisor said on Saturday.

György Bakondi told current affairs channel M1 that under a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union, Hungary would have to pay a daily fine of 6 million forints (EUR 15,500) until it allowed migrants to submit their asylum applications on its territory.

Bakondi said the court wanted to wait until after the European parliamentary elections to announce the ruling.

He noted that the candidates for European Commission president had stressed the importance of protecting the bloc’s external borders.
