Lawmakers in Hungary's parliament have ratified the European Union accession treaty with Romania and Bulgaria. 257 deputies voted in favor, with six votes against and one abstention.
The accession treaty has to be approved by all 25 member states. Hungary has been a staunch supporter of Romania's accession to the EU in view of the significant Hungarian minority that lives in this neighboring country.
