# Hungary procurement integrity and EU funding measures > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/hungary-procurement-integrity-and-eu-funding-measures > Updated: 2026-08-13T08:31:00.000Z. Sources: 18. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: Hungary establishes register for excluded economic operators to unlock EU funds Hungary is launching a public register of economic operators excluded from public procurement due to criminal offenses, a move aimed at ensuring integrity and unlocking frozen EU funds. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hungary-establishes-register-for-excluded-economic-operators-to-unlock-eu-funds ### 2026-08-13: Integrity Authority and GVH announce new regulatory measures in Hungary The Hungarian Integrity Authority is launching a public registry of excluded procurement actors, while the GVH fined eMAG operators 225 million HUF for failing to fulfill previous business support commitments. 15 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/integrity-authority-to-launch-registry-of-excluded-economic-operators --- Cite as: Hungary procurement integrity and EU funding measures.
