According to reports, the Commission will clear the way on Wednesday for the disbursement of €10 billion in blocked EU funds to Hungary. The funds have been blocked because the Hungarian government has violated the rule of law and other EU values. As soon as the Commission decides on Wednesday, a total of €10 billion can be disbursed to Hungary. Hungary had previously provided evidence of the reforms required by the Commission to restore the independence of the judiciary. A nine-day deadline expires on Wednesday. The Commission will then be forced to give the green light for the funds. Otherwise, there is a risk of defeat before the ECJ.
