The European Commission has closed the infringement procedure brought against Hungary in connection with the refurbishment of the Paks atomic power station in the context of public procurements, announced Janos Lazar, the Minister heading the Prime Minister’s Office.
Brussels instituted the proceedings two years ago, and the latest decision means that the Commission no longer disputes Hungary’s right to come to an agreement with Russia. According to Mr Lazar, there's a chance that the construction works may begin in 2017-2018.
