Dear All
fyi - with apologies for any spam.
This is unlikely to affect our project but be aware the EC will not be funding any
invoices etc. related to Hungary from 16/12/2022 until further notice.

Subject: ATTENTION: Avoid funding from your EU grant to Hungarian entities affected by
Council Implementing Decision 2022/2506
Europa / Funding & Tenders Portal notification
Dear coordinator,
This is to inform you that Council Implementing Decision 2022/2506 might directly impact
the implementation of your EU grant. This Decision stipulates that legal commitments must
not be entered into with any public interest trusts established on the basis of the
Hungarian Act IX of 2021 or any entity maintained by such a public interest trust. This
applies as of 16 December 2022 for as long as the measures are in place. This means that
it is prohibited to enter into legal commitments with such entities involving Union
funding. This prohibition applies to the entire chain of Union financing.
As concerns your grant, this means that no further legal commitments involving Union
funding can be entered into by you or any other beneficiaries (or affiliated entities) in
your grant with third parties concerned by this decision. This concerns legal commitments
involving Union funding related to e.g.: the purchase of goods, works or services;
subcontracting; financial support to third parties; equipment renting or leasing;
personnel seconded against payment. In case that these measures would hinder the
implementation of the actions under your grant you must immediately inform the granting
authority. In this case please turn to your Project Officer without delay.

It is progressively updated as soon as further guidance is available. You can find an
indicative – non-exhaustive – list of affected entities (i.e. public interest trusts and
entities maintained by them) under this
link<https://njt.hu/jogszabaly/2021-9-00-00>.
Please inform immediately all beneficiaries and affiliated entities in your grant, to
ensure that no EU funding goes to concerned Hungarian entities. We will inform you once
there is a decision on the end of these measures.
Thank you very much for your help.
