This document was handled by the Bureau confidentially; staff members of the Office’s other organizational units had no access thereto.

The costs of the establishment of the NPM Due to the limited nature of the targeted budget support, my Office had to allocate its own resources to the preparation for performing the tasks of the NPM; for this reason, it could not fully ensure the operation of the Bureau, the financing of some events and the staff members’ gaining experience abroad. The establishment of the NPM cost HUF 30,874,586 in 2014; this amount was provided by my Office through the transformation and reorganization of office operations, simultaneously with the performance of my general duties in protecting fundamental rights.
