Administrative Simplification The Case of Hungary
Administrative Simplification The Case of Hungary

Summary/Abstract: Simplification is a principle to be interpreted within quality legislation, which is important not only for the European countries, but it has been a priority also for the EU in the last decade. This paper tends to make a catalogue of the simplification measures taken by the government in Hungary in the last few years. It concentrates on rationalization programmes that expressively undertake simplification elements, e.g. the Magyary Zoltán Public Administrative Development Programme in 2010 and the ‘State Reform II’ programme in 2014. The paper – beyond a taxation of administrative fields involved within these simplification processes – introduces the most frequent methods and legal tools, as well. Moreover, it draws attention to those measures that were successful (integration, accessibility of administrative bodies) and that were not (e.g. linguistic simplification).
