(5)On 30 May 2012, based on the Convergence Programme for 2011 to 2015 and further specification of the savings measures, the Commission concluded that Hungary had taken effective action regarding the correction of the excessive deficit. In particular, the general government deficit was expected to reach 2,5 % of GDP in 2012 and remained well below the 3 % GDP Treaty reference value in 2013 as recommended in the Council Recommendation of 13 March 2012. Moreover, it was acknowledged that some progress had been made on enhancing the fiscal governance framework even though in this area overall progress could have been considered slow. Against this background, on 22 June 2012, the Council, following a proposal from the Commission of 30 May 2012, adopted Implementing Decision 2012/323/EUnote lifting the suspension of the Cohesion Fund commitment appropriations.
