Orban briefs parlt on results at EU summit

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sent a letter to House Speaker Laszlo Kover, briefing parliament on the results of the European Union summit held from July 17 to 21, and focusing on the requests parliament had put down ahead of the meeting. Orban said in his letter that the Hungarian government had succeeded in ensuring that member states in similar economic situations are granted equal treatment, and that citizens of richer states do not receive more support than those of poorer countries. Hungary has also ensured that the Article 7 procedure in progress against the country should be concluded before the approval of the EU's Financial Framework for 2021-2027 and the coronavirus rescue package, the letter said.
