1. Overall Assessment Hungarian law clearly provides a sound basis for data protection in Hungary. This is confirmed by the European Commission’s finding of „adequacy” under the provisions of Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC. There are, however, a few areas in which development could usefully take place. They include the provisions on international transfers and the enforcement powers of the Commissioner. When Hungarian law is modified, in the course of accession, to incorporate Directive 95/46/EC there should be an opportunity to give effect to these improvements. The Commissioner and his staff operate as an effective and efficient, independent supervisory authority. Within the resources available to them they have achieved a great deal in bringing about compliance with Hungary’s data protection law. However, a limited increase in resources would enable them to develop their work in some important areas, including international co-operation, which will become increasingly important after accession. Further attention also needs to be given to raising awareness of data protection rights and responsibilities and, with this, to increasing substantially the numbers on the data protection register. All supervisory authorities are limited in their activities by the resources available to them. Nevertheless, the resources available to the Hungarian Commissioner appear to be relatively low compared to equivalent supervisory authorities in EU member states. Some increase in resources would enable the Commissioner to develop his work in the ways referred to above. Consideration should also be given to improving the IT infrastructure provided for the Commissioner and to streamlining the system by which financial support is provided to him.
