The European Commission decided on Thursday to authorize the disbursement of €920 million to Hungary after approving its revised recovery and resilience plan. The funds represent the pre-financing of the REPowerEU energy transition scheme and are not tied to Hungary's rule of law violations.
Meanwhile, the Commission said that Hungary's revised plan is now worth €10.4 billion but that it is held until Hungary completes reforms "to ensure the protection of the Union's financial interests and to strengthen judicial independence."
