Hungary: Commission takes second step in infringement procedure on Higher Education Law

Today, the European Commission decided to send a reasoned opinion to Hungary as regards the compatibility of the Higher Education Law as amended on 4 April 2017 with EU law.

date:  13/07/2017

First Vice-President Frans Timmermans said: “The Hungarian Higher Education Law disproportionally restricts EU and non-EU universities in their operations and needs to be brought back in line with EU law as soon as possible. We expect a reaction from the Hungarian authorities within a month. If the response is not satisfactory, the Commission can decide to go to the Court.”
