Legislative acts reflect the achievement of a certain consensus in society on privatization issues. They served as the basis for the development of relevant government programs.
Further, the creation of various parliamentary, governmental and public bodies in Eastern European countries with the functions of managing or controlling privatization can be noted. For example, in Poland, there is a National Property Council under the country's Sejm, an Agency for Property Transformation and an Agency for Foreign Investors under the Government. In Czechoslovakia, federal and republican (Czech Republic and Slovakia) ministries for national property and its privatization, district privatization commissions subordinate to the republican ministries, and the National Property Fund have been established. The State General Secretariat for Privatization has been established in Romania.
Public control is ensured by the fact that a number of privatisation bodies include, in addition to members of Parliament, representatives of business bodies (unions of entrepreneurs), employers (trade unions) and public organizations (consumer unions, etc.).
The range of possible initiators of privatization is very broad. Proposals can be made by domestic and foreign legal entities and individuals, labor collectives, the bodies that established the enterprise, control bodies, etc. Privatization is encouraged both from below and from above.
For example, in Hungary, the State Property Agency has published a special guide for potential investors on how to buy a state-owned enterprise in 100 days. Anyone can declare their intentions to buy the company. The Agency is obligated to provide full information on the terms of purchase, including the maximum allowable share of foreign capital, in no more than 30 days. The investor develops his proposals based on these conditions. The planned enterprise will be fully managed by the Agency before its privatization. An audit of all valuables and debts is carried out on it. The investor's offer must be evaluated by the Agency within a period of no more than three weeks. During this period, a final decision is made on the choice of an investor, if proposals have been received from a number of them. The sale of large industrial enterprises is not thought to be uniform. The specific conditions at each enterprise are taken into account. It is expected that every year 6-9% of state property will be privatized in an active way, that is, on the initiative of state bodies, 5% spontaneously (on the initiative from below, on the part of enterprises, including individual citizens, labor collectives and the administration) and another 5% on the initiative of newly emerged Hungarian firms. The whole process takes about 5 years. Safety should never be compromised for a bonus. Before you enter your email or phone number, read our safe online bookmaker reviews section.
