The government is non-orthodox in the cash register case

The government delays the deadline of the cash register replacement. The original deadline would have been 31 December 2013, but as Varga Mihály, Minister of National Economy told at a press conference on Friday, the government modifies this deadline.

“We are not orthodox” – the minister said, adding that “we do not want to adapt life to the laws, but the law to the life.” He pointed out, that they did not want to expect the merchants to exchange their cash registers during the Christmas peak. They will announce a new realistic deadline, that everyone who wants it will be able to replace the cash register. According to him, 15 thousand online cash registers are operating in the country at the moment. (Népszabadság Online)
