Parliament on Monday approved legislation establishing the National Economic and Social Council (NGTT).
The body replaces the National Interest Coordination Council (OÉT), the Economic and Social Council (GSzT) and the Economic Interest Coordination Forum (GÉF).
In addition to unions and employers, civil and scientific organizations are also to be represented on the council.
The NGTT will be tasked with holding consultations, making proposals and advising. It will not take any decisions.
Members of the council will receive no remuneration. Their mandates will be for four years.
The council will meet at least four times a year and it will publish an annual report.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
We would like to offer that same opportunity to our readers. We would like to invite you to help us deliver the quality business journalism you require. Hit our Support the BBJ button and you can choose the how much and how often you send us your contributions.
