Thanks for the floor.

I would like to have an update about the internal investigation into the so called Hungarian spy case, because,

you know, last October,

a couple of newspapers published allegations that the Hungarian Permanent Representation targeted European Commission employees.

Do you have the findings of this internal investigation? Good afternoon.

Indeed, so, we launched an investigation back in October, last year following the media reports that you have been,

referring, to, and indeed I can provide you with, an update.

So the relevant Commission services have now finalized the investigation.

And on this basis,

the Commission has concluded that no serious security breach could be identified in relation to the allegations appearing in the media.

Now, in other words, on the basis of the information gathered during this investigation and with the tools that we have at our disposal within the Commission,

it is not possible to attribute individual responsibility or involvement beyond that of the intelligence officers themselves.

And if I may add, we of course have informed the European Parliament as well of the findings of this investigation. You have a follow-up. Go ahead.

So this means that no European Commission employees have been recruited, if I understand correctly.

And what about the possible involvement of Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi,

who was permanent representative at that time when this spy ring operated? Did you discuss his role?

So what this means is what I said.

So on the one hand, no serious security breach could be identified in relation to the allegations,

and on the other hand, it is not possible to attribute any individual responsibility or involvement.

And regarding the let's say the content of the investigation, of course I cannot get into the depth of it given that we are in the realm of internal operational security,

but I would say that all the relevant aspects were looked at over the course of the past 7 months.

Other questions for Balazs on the various files he covers. Tommaso
