This point evaluates and analyses the Hungarian system of animal and plant health administration, comparing its legislative framework and administrative practices with those of the European Union. The analysis focuses on the alignment of Hungary’s national laws with EU regulations, the structure and functioning of national authorities, and the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms. Differences and similarities between the Hungarian system and the broader EU framework are highlighted, providing insights into the challenges and successes of Hungary’s approach to animal and plant health protection. The interconnectedness of animal health and plant protection within the realm of agricultural biosecurity can be observed in this country as well. Effective management of biosecurity risks demands integrated administrative approaches, particularly in the prevention, monitoring, and control of pests and diseases that affect plants and animals. In Hungary, which has a rich agricultural sector, the governance of these two critical areas has been streamlined into a single institutional framework. Hungary, as a Member State of the European Union, is required to align its national legislation on animal and plant health with the EU’s regulatory framework. The EU provides a harmonised approach across Member States to manage animal and plant health, aiming to protect public health, agriculture, and biodiversity. However, national systems like Hungary’s must also accommodate local conditions, administrative structures, and legal traditions. This paper examines how Hungary’s system compares with the EU’s, focusing on key areas of legislation, administration, and enforcement.
