Hungary-specific requirements
Hungary has been developing its digital governance framework as part of the broader Digital Welfare Programme (Digitális Jólét Program). The Consumer Protection Authority brings experience in product and service market surveillance. Hungary's Act XXVI of 1998 on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Guarantee of Their Equal Opportunities provides a longstanding legal framework for disability rights, and the EAA transposition adds specific product and service accessibility requirements to this existing foundation. The National Infocommunications Strategy supports digital accessibility as part of Hungary's wider digitalisation goals.
