Navracsics: Hungary is making efforts to reach an agreement with EC

Minister Navracsics told the Hungarian press that the government had not given up its plan to fulfil the milestones set by the EC and consequently have access to the EU funds.

Tibor Navracsics, the minister of regional development, said on Tuesday that Hungary is making efforts to reach an agreement with the European Commission on all issues that prevent drawing down funds from the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. “We are close to an agreement,” Minister Navracsics said in Brussels after talks with Johannes Hahn, the European Commissioner for Budget and Administration. Minister Navracsics told the Hungarian press that the government had not given up its plan to fulfil the milestones set by the EC and consequently have access to the EU funds. Targets have already been met and the current talks aim at enabling Hungary to get access to the funds pro rata and as soon as possible, he said.
