The proposal was submitted by Bálint Ruff, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, with Minister of Justice Márta Görög serving as the rapporteur.
The bill is specifically intended to ensure the timely fulfilment of the so-called “super milestones” related to the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, and its adoption forms part of the implementation of the political agreement reached between Prime Minister Péter Magyar and the President of the European Commission, the text of the proposal said.
It is also stated that the bill is aimed exclusively at fulfilling the institutional and rule-of-law conditions related to accessing European Union funds; the legislation does not address ideological or worldview issues, is not related to migration policy matters, and does not raise issues concerning Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
The proposal tightens the rules on the submission and verification of asset declarations, it expands the powers of the Integrity Authority, provides for the dissolution of public-interest asset management foundations performing public functions, amends the Criminal Procedure Code to ensure strict action against corruption offenses, and enhances the transparency of certain payment transactions by amending relevant financial laws.
Furthermore, to ensure transparency in public procurement and the responsible management of public funds, the bill significantly expands the scope of entities required to publish information on the Central Public Data Registry platform and the range of data to be disclosed.
