H.E. Dr. Tamás Magyarics:

Let me talk a little about the Tavares report. It was accepted more or less along party lines in the appropriate committee and European Parliament. It can be interpreted as part of the political game between the EPP and socialists, greens, liberals and so on. Some of the observations were valid and some were not and were contested, but in general the final conclusion can be accepted that the individual countries, constitutions, the rule of law and legislation should be monitored closely by the individual parties of the European Union. That is what we can agree on, regardless of whether the individual points taken one by one are treated as valid. Some of them were politically motivated while others were not.
