Hungary aims to continue the fight against environmental pollution and advance the green transition "in a fair way," Raisz said.

For a successful green transition, the European economy needs to remain competitive, she added. She noted that the ministers had reached a general approach on the green claims directive and the revised waste framework directive at the meeting.

The green claims directive aims to protect consumers from "greenwashing," and the waste framework directive focuses on managing waste generated in the textile and food sectors, she added.
