On the issue of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, is Dr. Magyarics satisfied that any legislative changes made in the past number of years are within the remit of that charter? We would regard the necessity for the general thrust of European policy across each member state, but there is latitude for member states in order to ensure that they comply with the law. Is there a danger that some countries are moving beyond that and that the acquis communautaireprior to accession laid down certain rules and guidelines which had to be complied with. Do they still apply? Does he believe that Hungary still complies? Do organisations such as Transparency International, TI, agree? Why is Transparency International concerned about the situation?
