Hungary - New Reconciliation Council to convene - August 31, 2010

The Minister of Finance and Economy, György Matolcsy, has convened the National Interest Reconciliation Council for the first time since the new government has been established. The Minister's aim is to mark out the new Council's framework. The Reconciliation Council is a tripartite forum involving employees' federations, employers' associations and government representatives. Earlier, the trade unions urged for the Council to convene, as many relevant decisions regarding the workers were already taken in the last three months.
