European publication gets positive response in Germany, we're told (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magyar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european' is the definition.
(Magyar is an example)

'publication gets positive response in germany we're told' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'publication' could be 'mag' (abbreviation for magazine) and 'mag' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for magyar that I've seen before include "Official language of Hungary" , "European" , "Hungarian language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
