State secretary Krisztian Kecsmar informed about the response the government sent to the European Commission
“The Government will not back down in the quota case and has also made this absolutely clear in its reply to the European Commission”, the Ministry of Justice’s Secretary of State for European and International Judicial Cooperation declared at a press conference, according to Kormany.hu. “Hungary has previously attacked the quota resolution at the European Court of Justice and a ruling is expected in the case in early September, and accordingly it is questionable why the Commission had to launch infringement proceedings with regard to not conforming to the quota resolution without waiting for the ruling to be issued”, Krisztian Kecsmar stressed.
“In its reply to the Commission’s opinion, the Government objected to the application of double standards and the unusually short deadline”, the secretary of state said.
