The Hungarian Government is committed to upholding European values and norms, Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi said in Ljubljana, Slovenia on April 26, 2013.

Answering a question on the sidelines of talks with his Slovenian counterpart, Minister Martonyi said that Hungary was in constant dialogue with EU institutions and with the European Commission.

“As regards Hungary’s so-called infringements, it is my conviction that we will find a way of resolving them.”

On the previous day, an unnamed Brussels source told Hungarian News Agency MTI that the European Commission would launch a new infringement procedure against Hungary over parts of the law on excise duty pertaining to spirits. In addition, infringement procedures may also be launched in connection with the fourth constitutional amendment, the commissioner for basic rights and justice, Viviane Reding said recently.
