PM Orbán at V4 summit: All blocks to deal with EC ‘have been removed’

“All blocks” to reaching a deal between the European Commission and Hungary on unlocking the country’s EU funding “have been removed”, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Thursday in Kosice (Kassa), Slovakia.

At the joint press conference of V4 prime ministers, Orbán said Hungary had struck an agreement with the EC on 17 requirements which “they told us they wanted”. “We have substantiated and implemented them,” the prime minister added.

At a commission meeting on Nov. 30, it is expected that a decision will be forthcoming, Orbán said. “We have fulfilled everything we undertook and agreed on,” he said.

Orban said an “18th demand” had been made with an end-March deadline, and both sides had agreed that Hungary was on track to fulfilling this condition, too.

Hungary supports Ukraine

Hungary backs financial support for Ukraine and has earmarked money in the budget for the purpose, “But it doesn’t support European Union indebtedness,” PM Viktor Orbán said.

The government told the European Commission “in advance that we support financial help for Ukraine”, and this was “fair and necessary”, he said, adding that it had also indicated that Hungary would bear its part of the financial burden.

The portion of the 18 billion euros that Hungary has undertaken to provide has been earmarked in the budget, the prime minister said. Hungary’s foreign minister has been empowered to discuss the handover of the monies, he added.

“What we won’t support is a solution that pushes the European Union further into the debt community,” Orbán said. “We won’t ever support this”, regardless of whether the matter concerns Ukraine or any other financial issue, he added.
