Question for written answer E-001438/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Jeroen Lenaers (PPE)
From this month onwards, the Government of Hungary has extended the 'national card' scheme so as to admit Russian and Belarusian 'guest workers' into the country, too, without the customary security checks. Moreover, no limit on the number of 'guest workers' has been set, no employment sector has been specified and no certificates need to be submitted that demonstrate that the work is actually needed. Lastly, upon renewal, which is possible on an unlimited basis, no cultural knowledge test needs to be taken and 'guest workers' are also allowed to bring their families to Hungary.
