"Hungarikum is a collective term indicating a value worthy of distinction and highlighting within a unified system of qualification, classification, and registry and which represents the high performance of Hungarian people thanks to its typically Hungarian attribute, uniqueness, specialty and quality." - www.hungarikum.hu
The Parliament adopted the Act XXX of 2012 on Hungarian national values and Hungarikums with a consensus between the five major parties with the aim of establishing appropriate legal framework for the identification, collection and documentation of national values important for the Hungarian people and by this providing an opportunity for making them available to the widest possible audience and for their safeguarding and protection. The act wishes to establish a supportive legal framework for the “Hungarikum movement”, an extensive civil initiative already in place. According to the legal definition Hungarikum refers to a collective term denoting a value worthy of emphasis that represents the highest quality of Hungarian product with its characteristically Hungarian attributes, uniqueness, special nature and quality.
