Ifølge Ungarn kan disse betalinger ud fra statens synspunkt anses som en yderligere indtægt, hvor staten til gengæld giver afkald på sin ret til at sende felterne i offentligt udbud under koncessionsordningen under hensyntagen til de hermed forbundne risici og potentielle indtægter.
According to Hungary, from the point of view of the State these payments may be regarded as additional income, in exchange for which the State renounces its right to put the fields up for tender under the concessionary regime, bearing in mind the associated risks and potential revenue.
