Next gov’t would extend moratorium on farmland purchases by foreigners

By

Hungary’s next government will apply to the European Union for an extension of the moratorium on purchases of farmland by foreigners, chairman of Parliament’s agricultural committee Sandor Font, a member of opposition Fidesz, which is tipped to win general elections in April, said in Budapest on Friday.

Mr Font was speaking at a press conference following talks with EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Ciolos.

Mr Font said the two men discussed the future of the EU’s Common Agriculture Policy after 2013 and the issue of genetically modified crops.
