On Tuesday, Minister of State Pál Völner said that the Government of Hungary will most likely submit its petition against the European Union’s mandatory migrant quotas to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on 14 of December.
The Minister of State told public news channel M1 that the ECJ will have to decide whether it will handle the case in an expedited procedure or a normal procedure. If the case will be dealt with under the expedited procedure, the ECJ could rule on the petition within six months, whereas if the case is heard under the normal procedure, it could take one and a half or two years for the court to decide, Mr. Völner said.
