"The political situation in Hungary has been addressed several times in Parliament. A motion for a resolution was tabled and debated in July 2011 – but was ultimately not voted on – that admonished Hungary for the lack of guarantees in its compliance with the EU principles and values. On 18 January 2012, the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, was here to explain the Hungarian Government’s policy choices and the Fundamental Law of his country, which has fully incorporated the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. Parliament cannot intervene in the adoption of the constitution of a Member State, which would be considered interference in a country’s sovereignty and is something that should be judged by the citizens of that country. It is incumbent on the Commission to engage in dialogue with the Hungarian Government in order to overcome any lack of compliance with the EU Treaties. The new Hungarian constitution has been agreed by a majority in the democratically elected Hungarian Parliament and has replaced the communist constitution of 1949. However, since the Commission is the guardian of the Treaties, I believe it should act to ensure strict adherence thereto."@en1
