"There are several Member States against which hundreds of infringement procedures are launched even within the span of a single year. Hungary’s case is not unique in the European Union, yet we are treated with increased attention whatever we may do. The debate has shown quite well that left-wing speakers are rather lacking in terms of factual accuracy, which, however, does not seem to disturb even their leading orators. It is a fact that over the past two years there has been a reform in my country of such a magnitude that it should have been undertaken already at the time of Hungary’s democratic transition. This is exactly what the voters authorised the Government to do. I can sympathise with those who have suffered grievances, but the methods through which they seek recompense are unacceptable to me. If I recall correctly, when we acceded to the European Union we did not choose to completely surrender our country’s sovereignty in all matters, but to fulfil our jointly undertaken commitments. I indicated already during the debate on the presentation of the Danish Presidency programme that putting Hungary in a pillory will not bring about a satisfactory resolution of the euro area debt crisis. If we were to spend as much time on crisis management or the protection of the euro as we are spending on Hungary, we may already have succeeded in resolving our problems. It is unbecoming that in this period of European crisis we are looking for scapegoats and in the meantime divert attention from the fact that another intergovernmental agreement is about to be concluded in complete disregard for the Community method."@en1
