The Government of Hungary acknowledges the resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly which initiates the reviewing by the Venice Commission of the law on the amendment of the national higher education legislation and the bill on the transparency of organisations funded from abroad.
The Government wishes to note that there is ongoing consultation with respect to the amendment of the national higher education legislation with the European Commission as well.
The Government of Hungary regards cooperation with the Venice Commission as crucial. With regard to this, and in order to ensure that the legislation in the making that concerns the protection of privacy should be in harmony with our international commitments and undertakings, on behalf of the Government, the Justice Minister will seek the Venice Commission’s legal opinion with a view to clarifying certain preliminary issues.
