Hungarian-French justice cooperation is an especially “fruitful” area within bilateral relations that go back hundreds of years, Justice Minister Judit Varga said.
Varga told an event dubbed French-Hungarian Legal Days that mutual understanding and cooperation were crucial for legal harmonisation. She noted that the Mádl Ferenc Institute of Comparative Law which had been established by the ministry was operating in an area that’s also in the focus of the current event. Deputy head of the National Judicial Office Judit Gyarmathy praised high-level Hungarian-French court relations, saying that they were very successful. The event hosted by the French Institute in Budapest involves lectures by Hungarian and French judges, prosecutors and legal experts on national and European Union legal practices, competition law, investigations and alternative procedures for settling disputes.
