Press Release by the Hungarian EPP Delegation - The Hungarian EPP Delegation in the European Parliament rejects all the unfounded accusations of the Hungarian Media Act which have originated from a lack of information and political malice. We especially reject accusations offending such provisions of the Act which already exist in other Member States' media regulations. The unfounded accusations of political origin, through degrading the Hungarian EU Presidency, cause damage to the European Union itself. Therefore, we call upon the socialist, liberal, green and communist groups in the European Parliament to cease the political scandalisation.

Joseph Daul MEP, Chairman of the EPP Group - "2011 will be another challenging year for Europe. Economic recovery is still not established, and due to the high public deficits, the eurozone is still in some difficulty. Under these circumstances, not only solidarity, but strong leadership and efficient management are essential for Europe in 2011. I am confident that the two upcoming Presidencies of the EU Council of Ministers, held by Hungary and Poland, will prove their leadership skills and get the EU back on track", said Joseph Daul, welcoming the start of the first-ever Hungarian EU Presidency.
