The Commission found that, notwithstanding steps taken, there is still a continued risk to the EU budget given that the remedial measures that still need to be fulfilled are of a structural and horizontal nature. While several reforms have been undertaken or are underway, Hungary has failed to adequately implement central aspects of the necessary 17 remedial measures by the deadline of 19 November, as agreed under the general conditionality mechanism. The measures relate to the effectiveness of the newly established Integrity Authority and the procedure for the judicial review of prosecutorial decisions. Based on its assessment, the Commission has decided to maintain its initial proposal of 18 September to suspend 65% of the commitments for three operational programmes under cohesion policy, amounting to €7.5 billion. The Commission is also maintaining its proposal that no legal commitments may be entered into with any public interest trust. The Council will now have until 19 December to vote on the matter, requiring a qualified majority for the suspension of funds to enter into force.
