Stricter Rules for Drones in Budapest
This autumn, the Hungarian Parliament is to discuss the regulation of drone use, aimed at protecting critical infrastructure.

A 60-member commission under László Pálkovics, Minister for Innovation and Technology, will be looking at ways to establish a protocol were vital resources, such as the Paks Nuclear Power Plant or the Danube Refinery, to come under threat.

With the use of unmanned aerial vehicles unregulated across Europe, member states may adopt stricter rules than those set by the EU but not contradictory ones. This means that Hungarian laws and regulations, as well as the rules formulated by the EU, must be interpreted collectively.

Hungary intends to host an international drone conference in 2024, when the country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.
