REGULATORY COMMITTEE

 

Our mission is to perform a legal supporting function assisting fellow committees and the AmCham Board, and operating as a workshop for many of the most highly skilled practicing attorneys in Hungary and the representatives of AmCham member companies.

We recognize the growing need for representing the interests of AmCham members in the Hungarian regulatory procedures in an effective manner. The Regulatory Committee aims to ensure that constructive, professionally grounded comments and proposals are issued under the AmCham header reflecting the organization’s strong professional reputation. The Committee operates as a professional network, bringing together specialized working groups across various areas of law.

As of September 2025, the Committee will be led by Dr. Dóra Bocskov-Szabó, Managing Director and Senior Counsel at ExxonMobil Hungary, succeeding Dr. Gábor Orosz, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, Global Legal, NI, whom we thank for his years of dedicated service and leadership.

To join the Committee, please contact the relevant Policy Officer (see contact at the bottom of the page).

Partnerships & Cooperation

AmCham has a well-established, formal cooperation framework with the Ministry of Justice and engaged in regular and direct consultation on its legislative proposals with Government experts. This renewed Strategic Partnership Agreement – originally signed in 2011 – serves as a manifestation of a closer cooperation between the business sector and legislators. This Agreement facilitates Committee members to be informed on the legislative agendas and involved in the current regulatory work with the opportunity to give their opinion.

Furthermore, in spring 2024, AmCham also signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the Ministry of EU Affairs of Hungary. The Agreement enables our members to be informed on the legislative agendas and provides them with the opportunity to consult on questions within the Ministry's responsibility during and after Hungary's Presidency of the Council of the European Union set for the second half of 2024.
