Civil Liberties MEPs will discuss the situation of the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights in Hungary with Foreign Affairs Minister and several experts.

The Civil Liberties Committee was tasked by the full Parliament in May to assess whether Hungary is at risk of a serious breach of EU values. If, on the basis of Article 7(1) of the EU Treaty, the Parliament concludes that this is the case, it could ask the Council to act.

As part of the preparatory work for the report to be drafted by Judith Sargentini (Verts / ALE, NL), MEPs decided to organise a hearing with representatives of the Hungarian government, civil society and experts.

Hungary Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Péter Szijjàrtó will present the government’s views. Hungarian Helsinki Committee Co-Chair Marta Pardavi, University of Pécs and Mertek Media Monitor representative Gábor Polyák, as well as Centre for Fundamental Rights Director Miklós Szánthó complete the list of speakers.

CÂND: Thursday, 7 December, from 9-11h

UNDE: European Parliament, Brussels, Paul-Henri Spaak building, room 3C050

Articolul 7 din tratat, which has so far never been used, provides a mechanism to enforce EU values.

Under Article 7(1), and following an initiative by one third of member states, by Parliament or by the EU Commission, the Council may determine that there is a clear risk of a serious breach of EU values by a member state and, in order to prevent an actual breach, it may address specific recommendations to the country concerned.

Under Article 7(2), an actual breach of EU values can be determined by the European Council on a proposal from a third of member states or the EU Commission. The European Council needs to decide unanimously and the Parliament needs to give its consent. Article 7(3) is used to launch sanctions, such as suspending a country’s voting rights in the Council.

To be adopted by plenary, the draft resolution prepared by the Civil Liberties Committee will need to be backed by two-thirds of the votes cast and an absolute majority of MEPs, i.e. at least 376 votes.

The draft report is scheduled to be voted in committee in June; the vote by the full House is planned for September.
