(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUN 3 - The Court of Justice of the European Union has dismisses today Hungary's action against an European Parliament resolution triggering the procedure for determining the existence of a risk of a serious breach of the values on which the European Union is founded, the Court said in a statement today. "When calculating the votes cast when that resolution was adopted, the Parliament was right to exclude the taking into account of abstentions," the Court established.

The Court recalled that, on 12 September 2018, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on a proposal calling on the Council to determine the existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of European values. That declaration triggered a procedure capable of leading to the suspension of certain rights resulting from EU membership. (ANSA).
