欧盟可在选举前收回匈牙利的10B欧元,以抵偿违反法治的行为。 EU may reclaim €10B from Hungary over rule-of-law breaches, ahead of elections.

欧洲法院大律师建议欧盟收回2023年给予匈牙利的100多亿欧元团结基金, The European Court of Justice’s advocate general has recommended the EU recover over €10 billion in cohesion funds granted to Hungary in 2023, stating Budapest failed to meet rule-of-law conditions tied to the disbursement. 这笔资金在匈牙利总理欧班(Viktor Orbán)推翻反对向乌克兰提供500亿欧元的一揽子军事援助计划后被释放, The funds were released after Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, reversed his opposition to a €50 billion military aid package for Ukraine, prompting concerns of a political trade. 欧洲联盟委员会先前曾因民主倒退、腐败和削弱司法独立而暂停资金。 The European Commission had previously suspended the funds over democratic backsliding, corruption, and weakened judicial independence. Tamara apeta检察长认为委员会没有适当核实改革情况或证明释放是正当的,她的不具约束力的意见预计将影响法院的最后裁决,可能要求偿还或今后削减资金。 Advocate General Tamara Ćapeta found the Commission did not properly verify reforms or justify the release, and her non-binding opinion is expected to influence the court’s final ruling, possibly requiring repayment or future funding cuts. 这一决定在匈牙利4月的议会选举之前作出,可为欧盟执行治理标准开创一个重要的先例。 The decision comes ahead of Hungary’s April parliamentary elections and could set a major precedent for EU enforcement of governance standards.
