European Parliament (EP) has passed a resolution condemning the Hungarian media law on Thursday, calling for the Hungarian government to change it. The most important objections include the law being biased and not independent.

Hungarian Parliament passed amendments to the media laws as agreed with the European Commission. Still, the technical modifications do not dispell worries about the dominance of the government in controlling the media.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has promised that the country's new media law would be changed if necessary, the President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso said after talks with Orban on Friday.

The Hungarian government has informed the European Commission that the country's new media law is in line with EU norms but the commission expects further and more detailed information on the act.

Hungary's latest media bill poses a danger to press freedom, US-based Freedom House (FH) said on Tuesday. If passed, the bill would be "a major setback for press freedom in Hungary," FH said in a press release.
