The European Commission on Wednesday said it approved a six-year EUR 231m Hungarian film support scheme which was modified from the original to introduce cultural content eligibility criteria.
The main difference between the new scheme and the original is that films must have cultural content to be eligible for support.
The scheme involves a tax incentive and grants. In the first year of the scheme, tax incentives are budgeted at HUF 3bn and grants at HUF 3.9bn including 3.014bn for film production and HUF 256m support for film distribution.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
