Hungarian Ministry of Human Resources: Hungarian industry aiming for Europe’s top tier
Hungarian industry must reach Europe’s top tier in the coming years, László Palkovics, the candidate to head the new ministry of technology and industry, said at a hearing before a parliamentary committee on Thursday.
Self-sufficiency remains a primary goal in domestic terms, Palkovics told the economic committee.
He vowed to boost industrial efficiency as minister, saying
that Hungary could not be competitive at an international level without an increase in value added.
Palkovics said Zsófia Koncz would serve as the ministry’s parliamentary state secretary, with Dávid Vitézy being in charge of transport and Attila Steiner overseeing energy and climate policy. He named Zsolt Kutnyánszky as his state secretary for industry policy, employment and digitalisation, Anikó Raisz as the state secretary for environmental protection and Balázs Gazsó as the state secretary in charge of public administration.
The committee supported Palkovics’s nomination for minister with 12 votes in favour, 3 against and 1 abstention.
