Justice Minister Laszlo Trocsanyi pointed out that the European Commission tends to apply double standards when it comes to Hungary, MTI reported.

Hungary's cooperation with the European Commission is "not completely reassuring", Justice Minister Laszlo Trocsanyi said on Monday during an annual hearing before parliament's European affairs committee. The EC has given very short deadlines for the Hungarian government's responses in certain matters and some important issues have been overly politicised, the minister said. Despite this, Hungary has maintained high standards in its responses, he added.

The EC's attempts to pressurise Hungary have raised questions concerning fair procedure, the right to defence and double standards, Trocsanyi said.
