EU Court Fines Hungary 200 Million Euros for Non-Compliance with EU Migration Policy
The European Union Court has handed down a hefty fine of 200 million euros, approximately 15 billion Danish kroner, to Hungary for its failure to implement the EU's migration policy and for the illegal deportation of migrants. In addition to the one-time fine, Hungary has also been instructed to pay a daily penalty of one million euros, equivalent to 746 million Danish kroner, until the country fully complies with the adopted legislation. The ruling against the government in Budapest stems from its deliberate avoidance of adhering to EU regulations, despite a previous ruling by the EU Court in 2020 demanding Hungary to uphold international asylum procedures. The EU Court highlighted Hungary's persistent non-compliance with the EU legislation in a recent press release regarding the decision.
