Motion for a resolution
Annex I – point 20 a (new)

(20a) According to the anti-corruption report published by the Commission in 20141 b, corruption is perceived as widespread (89%) in Hungary. According to the 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index published by Transparency International, Hungary has lost 10 points in six years, making it one of the lowest ranked states in the European Union. Hungary is one of the greatest recipients of EU funds and more than half of public investment comes from EU funds. Hungary, however, has refused to participate in the European Public Prosecutor's Office set up to combat infringements affecting the Union budget. __________________ 1b COM(2014) 38

The 2017 ECB Annual Report mentions that some concerns have now been alleviated, nonetheless the ECB continues its monitoring. The ECB should not hesitate to initiate infringement proceedings for non-compliance with Article 123 TFEU banning monetary financing. __________________ 1a See most recently the answer to the letter with reference QZ-016 dated 10 April 2018
