lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, thank you for the floor, and I am also grateful that the Commission considers the issue of the freedom of speech and the related freedom of the press, which are fundamental human rights, to be such a vital issue and that it deals with this issue in a balanced manner. So far this evening, I have heard confused accounts, veiled allusions and, unfortunately, accusations. Commissioner, allow me to provide you with reliable information about the new Hungarian Media Act. All political parties agreed that the 1996 Act was very much outdated. The new government submitted its draft media law package to the Hungarian Parliament in order to create a clear structure and transparent financial foundations for media regulations. How is the government trying to achieve this? For instance, by preventing wasteful expenditure of state funds. By solving structural issues. By making the media system transparent. By what means? By reducing the number of party-appointed members to one-fifth. Or even by making the national media and telecommunications authority accountable to Parliament. Or by declaring the freedom of the press and protecting the independence of journalists. Or even by ensuring the confidentiality of sources used by investigative journalists, while protecting fundamental constitutional rights. Commissioner, in the meantime, it may happen that the interests of the previous government will suffer. Some may even start malicious rumours. The truth is that the submission of the act was preceded by a lengthy process. Also, the act is not final yet, as the parliamentary debate on it will only start next week. The European Commission has a great responsibility. This issue must be taken seriously and it is also true that, as was mentioned, a uniform, transparent and reliable assessment is necessary. Unclear accounts and allusions are dangerous and have a detrimental effect on nation states."@en1
