Fidesz MEP: EC unlawfully withholding recovery funding from Hungary

The European Commission is violating European Union law and creating an uneven playing field among member states by withholding recovery funding from Hungary and Poland, an MEP of the ruling Fidesz party said on Tuesday. Eniko Gyori said in a statement in connection with Monday's session of the European Parliament's economic and monetary affairs committee that she had reminded EC Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis and European Commissioner for Economy Paolo Gentiloni that one of the main aims of the EU's Recovery Fund was to provide member states even conditions for their recovery. "Withholding the funding Hungarians and Poles are entitled to goes against this goal," she said.
