During his regular weekly press conference this afternoon, Lázár said the Hungarian governmentʼs review of the food-retail sector convinced him that foreign firms should leave the country, and that leaving would be best for them, according to hvg.hu.
Lázár reportedly said there have been major lobbying efforts to get the government to reduce value-added taxes on UHT milk, as it is planning to do for raw milk. The cabinet chief said he “is not sure” how much Hungarian milk farmers would be helped by such a measure, as in Hungary, approximately 60% of the UHT milk is imported and only 40% is produced here, hvg.hu reported.
