The government decree makes it compulsory for all bodies involved in managing, checking and auditing agricultural subsidies to use all functions of the EU ARACHNE+ risk scoring tool.

The managing authority develops procedures and a methodology and gives full access to the European Commission and national audit bodies. The organisations concerned must also introduce procedures to prevent conflicts of interest. The decree entered into force on the day after publication.

The government suspended the compulsory extension of the unified central electronic document management system (EKEIDR), so during the suspension no organisation can be required to introduce or extend it. Within 60 days the ministers of justice and of science and technology must review all EKEIDR contracts, prices, supplier dependence and the system's security compliance. Where the transition is not complete or happened within three years, it must be examined whether returning to the earlier document management system is possible if it is cheaper and meets requirements. Within 100 days a proposal must be made for a long-term, competition-neutral state document management model.

The agriculture minister's decree reduces the administrative burden on grape and wine producers. Planting a vineyard of up to 1,500 square metres requires no soil protection plan. A contract processor may also act on behalf of a grape grower without its own operating licence. The word "muskotály" (muscat) may also appear on the label of wine made from muscat-type Traminer, and units of measure used in the wine sector are standardised. If the same size vineyard is replanted on the same area, grubbing up of the old one is only checked after planting, and amending wine promotion programmes will be simpler.

The agriculture minister's decree changed the rules on recognising fruit and vegetable producer organisations and their operational programmes. It reduces the data to be submitted, makes checks more transparent and spreads application deadlines better across the calendar year. In the agricultural damage compensation system, silage maize falls under the rule for maize, and a 15 August deadline changes to 31 August. Some parts of the decree enter into force on 1 January 2027.

Draft: the Ministry of Transport and Investment would amend the architecture act. The environmental or nature protection authority would have to notify the building authority immediately if it starts proceedings over an infringement at a priority investment. The government could prohibit by decree further permits for the infringing investment for a time, during which permitting deadlines would be suspended. Sanctions would be eased for housing construction meeting the Otthon Start Program's FIX 3% loan conditions, because the plans must be adapted to the new government housing programme; comments could be sent until 22 August 2026.

Draft: under a government decree of the Ministry of Transport and Investment, no building permit would be issued for several priority economic development investments, for example the Debrecen industrial site and the Iváncsa industrial park, if the investor breaks environmental or nature protection rules. The ban would last until the infringement ends, but at least six months. For large housing projects planned under the Otthon Start Program that do not yet have a building permit, permits would temporarily not be issued, because the plans must be adapted to the new government housing programme. For two investments, issuing permits would be prohibited until 31 December 2026, except for occupancy permits; comments could be sent until 22 August 2026.

Draft: the Ministry of Transport and Investment would withdraw the priority investment status of several projects based on the May review of priority investments. According to the justification, these investments overstepped local and national rules, provoked strong public opposition and lacked cooperation with municipalities. The priority status of the Margaret Island National Tennis Competition Centre, the National Circus Arts Centre and the development of Pázmány Péter Catholic University would be fully repealed. Several other investments would be removed from the economic development and brownfield priority decrees; comments could be sent until 22 August 2026.
