According to the Hungarian government the European Commission's infringement procedure launched against Hungary's law on the transparency of civil organisations is unfounded.
Justice ministry state secretary Pal Völner told a press conference on Tuesday that the government considers the infringement procedures as unfounded in a formal response sent to the Commission. Völner stressed that the NGO transparency law has not violated any EU or international regulation.
According to MTI, Völner Volner noted that the EC had shortened the regular two-month deadline for Hungary to respond to its queries in connection with high-profile infringement procedure cases concerning the NGOs, the migrant resettlement scheme and the law on higher education.
