As a prerequisite for joining the European Union Romania ratified several treaties which ensure language rights for its autonomous people. (the basic treaty with Hungary, the Strasbourg framework for the protection of minorities, the European Charta for regional languages amongst others. ) According to these language rights the Hungarian language is an official language in all those administrational regions, where the amount of ethnic Hungarians was over 20 % in 1992.
