In the ruling of June 22, 2023, the CJEU said Hungarian legislation requiring asylum seekers to submit applications at an embassy in a third country failed to comply with an EU directive on common procedures for granting international protection.

The EC said it had not been informed of any remedial measures taken by Hungary following the CJEU decision.

Hungarian authorities have two months to respond to the letter of formal notice or the EC may decide to refer the case back to the CJEU and propose the imposition of financial sanctions.
