Article 15 -The Act on Nature Conservation requires government permission for the
establishment of gene banks and banks of reproductive materials, input of
protected plant species into these banks, or the exchange, transport, purchase or sale of animal genes.
The implementation of the CBD is governed and directed by the Hungarian
Commission on Sustainable Development (“HCSD”) including various economic
sectors. The HCSD initiated in 1995 a country study on biological diversity following
the UNEP Guidelines (1993).The Government approved in 1996 the National Environmental Protection Program that
includes several elements of conservation and sustainable use of
biological diversity for the next 6 years.
