CEDO cere anularea legii din Ungaria care interzice simbolurile comuniste
Kövér says EU ruling against ban on communist symbols “unacceptable”; Hungary will not yield to political demands for IMF loan
The European Court of Human Rights’ ruling against Hungary in connection with its sanctioning the use symbols of communist dictatorship is morally unacceptable, Hungary’s House Speaker Laszlo Kover said in Strasbourg on Thursday.
At a conference of his counterparts of countries in the Council of Europe, Kover said that the ruling suggested that the Strasbourg court was applying double standards and had different positions concerning the symbols of different dictatorships.
Speaking to MTI on the sidelines of the conference, Kover quoted the late Czech President Vaclav Havel as saying that there is no difference between the swastika and the hammer and sickle, and warned that European court rulings could only be whole-heartedly accepted in EU member states if they had a sound ethical foundation.
Kover added, however, that Hungarian authorities must implement the European ruling, and pay compensation to former Hungarian Workers’ Party leader Janos Fratanolo, who had been fined for wearing a red star in a television interview back in 2007.
The house speaker said that if similar cases should follow, Hungary had to decide whether to “keep paying compensation ad infinitum” or throw out the ban on symbols of dictatorship, both the swastika and the red star.
The Strasbourg ruling, passed on March 8, said that Fratanolo had a right, under the principle of freedom and expression, to wear the star. The European court ruled that Hungary must pay 4,000 euros to Fratanolo and 2,400 euros in legal fees.
Hungary argued at the time that the televised appearance gave public exposure to one of the symbols of tyranny, which is illegal according to Hungarian law.
Political terms for IMF deal out of the question
Hungary will not accept any political conditions from the IMF or EU attached to financial aid but international lenders are free to set certain economic parameters, Kövér said in Strasbourg on Thursday.
Kover said he had met Bundestag speaker Norbert Lammert on the sidelines of a conference of parliamentary speakers from Council of Europe member states, and Lammert had told him that every country must solve its own problems, but if they need help from the community then they must meet certain demands.
“We were in agreement and we made it clear that these conditions, considering that it’s about money, can only be of an economic nature and not political one,” Kover said.

Citate din gândirea profundă a europeiştilor RO
Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, 2008: "Vom da astăzi, în Parlamentul României, un vot istoric - votul pentru ratificarea Tratatului de reformă al Uniunii Europene. Pentru România este mai mult decât un moment festiv. Ratificarea Tratatului de reformă marchează o etapă. Spun acest lucru din două motive. Pe de o parte, este o primă etapă pe care noi am parcurs-o în cadrul Uniunii Europene, după aderarea de la 1 ianuarie 2007. Am avut şansa să contribuim la negocierea şi la construirea acestui Tratat, beneficiind de aceleaşi drepturi şi având aceleaşi obligaţii ca oricare altă ţară europeană. Este cel dintâi tratat european semnat de România, în calitate de stat membru al Uniunii Europene. Simbolic, este primul document al Europei extinse, negociat şi semnat în format UE 27. Pentru toate aceste motive, odată cu ratificarea de către Parlament, putem spune că este cel dintâi tratat european pe care România îşi pune efectiv amprenta, conform intereselor sale, nemaifiind în postura de a prelua ceea ce au negociat şi au decis alţii. Doamnelor şi domnilor senatori şi deputaţi, în urmă cu trei ani, prin votul dumneavoastră, România a ratificat Tratatul constituţional ["Constituţia UE", caducă], odată cu ratificarea Tratatului de aderare la Uniunea Europeană. Aşa cum ştiţi, Tratatul constituţional nu a putut intra în vigoare. Din fericire, aşa cum noi am susţinut în timpul negocierilor, inovaţiile din acest document au fost preluate în Tratatul de la Lisabona. Aceste inovaţii sunt un pas înainte faţă de tratatele europene în vigoare acum."
