Country also ordered to pay penalty payment of €1M per day of delay for failing to comply with court's judgement on same matter

The Court of Justice of the EU on Thursday ordered Hungary to pay a lump sum of €200 million ($216 million) over “serious infringement” of the bloc's asylum rules.

In a statement, the court said that it also ordered Hungary to pay a penalty payment of €1 million per day of delay for “failure to comply with a judgment of the Court of Justice.”

“That failure, which consists in deliberately avoiding the application of a common EU policy as a whole, constitutes an unprecedented and extremely serious infringement of EU law,” it added.
