Minister of State for EU Affairs Enikő Győri has sent a letter to Rapporteur Tavares informing him about the amendment of the National Security Act, as well as about the latest developments of the Hungarian Government’s dialogue with the European Commission on the Fourth Amendment.

She wrote that in light of the Commission’s concerns regarding the transfer of court cases and the possibility of a special tax to cover payment obligations incurring from rulings of the Constitutional Court or international courts, the Government has decided to remove these provisions from the Fundamental Law. Regarding the third issue raised by the EC, notably the question of political advertising in commercial media will be discussed in detail with the services of the Commission.
