Hungary’s recent reforms under Prime Minister Péter Magyar aim to restore the rule of law, the European Commission reported. Key developments include joining the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and dismantling the controversial Sovereignty Protection Office, reflecting significant progress in anti-corruption measures and judicial independence.
German MEP Engin Eroglu warned that restricting Chinese access to the EU market could destabilise China’s export-driven economy. With an unprecedented €1 billion deficit in 2026, the European Commission plans unilateral measures, including tariffs and quotas, to protect industries from the surge of low-cost imports.
The European Commission has submitted a list of EU products to the US, seeking exemptions from the 15 per cent tariffs established under the 2025 trade deal. Key items include Roquefort cheese, olive oil, and machinery, representing approximately €150 billion in exports.
