Hungary’s Lawmakers Approve Modified “Pocket Contract” Law
- 5 Feb 2014 8:00 AM
Parliament on Tuesday approved a modified law on so-called pocket contracts, which sought to make action taken by the authorities against the invalid ownership and misuse of farmland in Hungary more effective.
At the end of October, lawmakers approved the Fidesz-sponsored law on broadening the powers of prosecution in relation to ownership and use of farmland, but President János Áder sent the law back to parliament for reconsideration.
Parliament made various amendments to take Áder’s objections into account.
