State farmland law amendment on Parliament’s agenda next week

Budapest, November 29 (MTI) – Lawmakers will address a law amendment on the sales of state farmland on Tuesday, with proposed modifications in response to the law being rendered unconstitutional in a June ruling of Hungary’s top court.

On Monday, lawmakers will start the session by posing questions to members of the government.

Tuesday’s agenda also includes proposed scrapping of several administrative fees and amendments about chimney-sweeping, gambling and mandatory car insurance, as well as other educational, military and energy bills. Still on Tuesday a debate will be held on the reduction of the banking tax. Economy Minister Mihaly Varga’s proposal would offer incentives to banks which increase their lending to businesses and the general public.

On Wednesday a debate will be held on modifications to the ethnic minority law and lawmakers will adjourn until the following Monday when they would end the two-week session with another Q&A.
