The government will also take the final legal steps required by the European Union “to bring home the funds due to the Hungarian people and Hungary”, András Kármán added, referring to the upcoming Friday meeting of the EU’s Economic and Financial Affairs Council (Ecofin).
Dávid Vitézy, the minister for transport and investment, told parliament on Monday before the agenda that negotiations with the European Commission have been concluded and the recovery plan text finalized.
A final decision is expected at the EU finance ministers’ council meeting on Friday, with all signs pointing to a positive decision, he added.
At a consultation on June 26 with Kyriakos Pierrakakis, the president of the Eurogroup, Kármán and Prime Minister Péter Magyar discussed the results achieved in unlocking EU funds and the steps still needed for the funds to become accessible.
The Hungarian government recently submitted the amended Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) plan, which the commission accepted in the past few days.
The final step is for the Ecofin council of finance ministers to adopt this program at its next meeting on July 10, the finance minister said at the time.
