The Hungarian presidency's achievements will be assessed by MEPs on Tuesday morning, in a debate with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán i.

The conclusion of Croatia's EU i accession negotiations, the adoption of a new Roma strategy and progress on the economic governance package have drawn praise from MEPs. On the other hand, some have argued that domestic issues, such as Hungary's media law and new constitution, overshadowed the Hungarian presidency.
