BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's government submitted a batch of legislation to parliament late on Monday in order to unlock billions of euros of European Union funds, Justice Minister Judit Varga said on her official Facebook page.

She said the bill modifies legislation relating to Hungary's cooperation with the EU anti-fraud office OLAF and rules affecting state asset management foundations. The government has said more legislation would come on Friday.
