"I voted in favour of Parliament’s resolution of 16 February 2012 on recent political developments in Hungary because Member States and the European Union have a duty to ensure that Member States’ legislative processes and the content of their legislation comply with the EU’s legislation, principles and values, and do not contradict these values and instruments. Hungary adopted a new constitution on 18 April 2011. Some of its provisions were criticised in the European Parliament’s resolution of 5 July 2011. Parliament requested that the European Commission carry out a thorough assessment and analysis of the new constitution and of the cardinal laws stipulated in it, in order to verify compliance with the
and the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights.
On 17 January 2012, the Commission initiated legal action against Hungary on the following issues: the independence of Hungary’s Central Bank, lowering the compulsory retirement age for judges and the independence of the data protection authority, while asking the Hungarian authorities for additional information on the independence of the judiciary. The European Parliament calls on the Hungarian Government, in the common interest of the Hungarian citizens and the EU, to comply with the recommendations, objections and requests made by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the Venice Commission regarding the issues previously mentioned and to change the laws accordingly, respecting the EU’s core values and standards."@en1
