Tasks of the Regulatory Committee


The new Regulatory Committee had its first meeting on 15 September, 2010.
Our aim is to reinvigorate the Regulatory Committee so that it could fulfill its legal professional supporting function by dealing with legal issues raised by other committees of the AmCham Board or bringing themes upon own initiative.
We recognize the growing need for representing the interests of AmCham members in the Hungarian regulatory procedures in an effective manner, addressing questions affecting a wider range and which are professionally viable.
The Regulatory Committee aims to ensure that constructive, professionally grounded comments and proposals are issued under the AmCham header in line with the reputation of the organization.
The revitalized and restructured Regulatory Committee should function as a professional network of specialized working groups for different areas of law, but will not engage in actual lobbying activities.
The new working group structure is the following:

  • Constitutional, Administrative & Tax Law – Péter Nagy
  • IP, IT, Telecom, Data Protection – István Réczicza
  • Civil, Commercial Law – János Tóth
  • Customs, Trade Compliance – Tamás Lőcsei
  • Corporate Law – Zoltán Csehi
  • Public Procurement Regulation – Károly Szabó
  • Labor Law – András László and György Liptovszky
  • Energy – Zoltán Faludi
  • Banking Law – Erika Papp
  • Financial Markets – Dusán Lásztity
  • Competition / Unfair Trade Practices / Consumer Protection – Tihamér Tóth
  • Property Law, Environmental Regulations – Györgyi Viszmeg

The working groups will be led by skilled, renowned, practical lawyers, many of them having academic background as well. We will strive to establish workshop atmosphere in the working groups in order to facilitate professional discussions and elaborate thorough and valuable opinions, studies and analyses.

The Regulatory Committee’s work will be coordinated with the work currently underway in other committees and the Regulatory Committee will endeavor to integrate the work of various groups representing different aspects of a matter at hand.

Gábor Orosz (Director and European Counsel of National Instruments) was elected as the new Committee Chairman on September 15, 2010.
