title = {Umweltschutzrecht in Ungarn},
year = {2021},
note = {Until 1990, Hungary’s environmental legislation had been broadly
incomprehensive. Since then, several laws and judicial decisions were
passed, and scholarly literature on this topic exists in abundance.
However, as yet, there is no exhaustive evaluation of the development
of the legal and legislative development of the country’s
environmental law of the past thirty years. This article provides a
historical overview of Hungary’s environmental law, followed by an
outline of the developments of the 1990 s; it then presents
Hungary’s post-millenial environmental law, shedding light on the
first decade. The next chapter covers Hungary’s environmental law
after 2010, which was a turning point in the country’s environmental
policies, associated with the FIDESZ party’s accession to power and
several controversial environmental policies. The article concludes
that environmental law cannot be observed separately, but must always
be reviewed in conjunction with, and in the context of, changes in the
entire legal system and the political changes taking place in a
country at large. Despite EU approximation of environmental law, there
are still cases of Hungarian environmental law contradicting European
domestic market fundamental freedoms and competition law.},
