This shows the conditions laid down in the law are implementable, László Palkovics, state secretary for education, told lawmakers during a debate on the inter-state agreement between Hungary and Maryland in connection with the higher-education law, which states that an accord between the Hungarian government and a state outside of the EU and EEA is needed for a college or university to legally operate in the country.

Palkovics noted in the debate that the law had been amended in light of an examination by Hungary’s education authority that showed several institutions headquartered abroad were breaching various regulations.
