Abstract: The harmonisation of national competition legislation with European Union law has largely been completed in Hungary, mainly by modifying the Competition Act of 1997. The main features of the Competition Act are unfair market practices, unfair influence on consumer decisions, agreements restricting competition (vertical and horizontal), abuse of a dominant position and merger control. In the area of state aid, there is a general prohibition on the provision of such aid, with the reservation that exceptions might be determined by government decrees. In view of Hungary's accession to the EU, from 1 April 2002, further laws have come into force that are to be enforced with the Hungarian Competition Act, creating a double set of regulations. The new rules incorporate certain European competition rules into Hungarian law.
