Hungary procurement integrity and EU funding measures

Overview

The Hungarian Integrity Authority is establishing a public registry of economic operators excluded from public procurement due to criminal activities. This measure is intended to prevent abuses and ensure transparency, serving as a necessary step toward the resumption of frozen European Union funding.

Under this system, companies are barred from procurement if their leaders, board members, or beneficial owners have faced final court decisions for crimes defined by procurement laws. The authority noted that the registry is not intended as a permanent stigma; instead, it includes a ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism. This allows companies to be removed from the list if they can demonstrate they have rectified previous circumstances, compensated for damages, cooperated with authorities, and implemented measures to restore their reliability.
