The Commission decides to refer Hungary to the Court of Justice of the European Union

The European Commission has decided to refer Hungary to the Court of Justice of the European Union, as its national law on the  ‘Defence of Sovereignty’  is in breach of EU law. The Commission indicated in February that, in its view, the law is in breach of EU law. Since the response provided by the Hungarian government was deemed unsatisfactory, the Commission has decided to take the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
