煙草在線據realdeal.hu報道編譯　　歐洲委員會（EC）網站新聞顯示，因歐洲委員會在進行中的立法計劃案通知程序中并未提出反對意見，匈牙利國會可能在夏季休會結束后，對成立國家煙草零售專賣局的法律草案進行最后表決。

　　熟悉立法程序的專家說，三個成員國——捷克共和國、希臘和德國——都對草案提出了自己的意見，但他們宣稱立法草案違反歐盟法律，卻并未列出有說服力的具體論據。

　　并且，他們指出，在最后表決之前，匈牙利政府必須對每個問題做出答復。

　　匈牙利國會曾在2月份討論過這一法案，但最后投票表決卻被推遲，直到歐洲委員會就此事發表意見。

　　該草案由執政的青年民主主義者聯盟議員于去年12月提交，要求國家擁有對煙草產品零售的特許權，并從2013年開始限制零售點的數量。

評論：

　　近日，匈牙利政府決定，將強化對卷煙制品的零售管理，計劃實施煙草產品零售特許經營，這可能是出于兩方面的考慮，一是盡可能減少未成年人購煙，保護未成年人的健康；二是打擊非法卷煙的銷售，凈化市場。匈牙利政府的初衷是好的，但任何改革都不是一帆風順的，要實行零售專賣也會面臨著來自既得利益團體的阻力。這一草案如果能在國會表決通過，那么匈牙利的煙草專賣之路就又近了一步。

Europe: Hungary poised to make tobacco sales state monopoly

　　Hungarian parliament could likely take a final vote on a bill that would establish a state monopoly on retail tobacco sales after the summer recess as the European Commission has raised no objection to planned legislation in an ongoing notification procedure, the EC website shows.

　　Three members states - the Czech Republic, Greece and Germany - formed an opinion on the bill but their comments fail to contain a strong case to declare that the planned legislation was running against EU law, experts familiar with the process told MTI.

　　They noted, however, that the Hungarian government must respond to every question before taking a final vote.

　　Hungarian Parliament discussed the bill in February but delayed final vote until after the European Commission issues an opinion on the matter.

　　MPs of governing Fidesz submitted the bill to Parliament last December that would require a concession from the state for retail tobacco sales and limit the number of retail outlets from 2013.
