What is Consumer Protection investigating in 2025?
The 2025 Inspection and Investigation Program of the Consumer Protection Authority contains the thematic investigations along which the government agencies acting within the scope of the consumer protection authority will conduct their inspections. Within 39 thematic investigations, the government agencies will conduct their inspections in a total of 50 topics in order to protect Hungarian families and consumers, enforcing consumer rights by conducting official procedures and applying legal consequences where justified.
