“We fully agree with the text of the pact,” Mártonyi said, but added that Hungary “has never liked tax harmonization”.
Laying the foundations for European economic governance, is a measure of success for the Hungarian EU Presidency, Mártonyi said in an interview published on Hungary’s EU Presidency website in early March. The German-French initiative and strengthening common Union policies is in harmony with that, he added.
