EU probes delayed digital land registry
The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has opened an investigation into Hungary’s long-delayed electronic property registry, independent MP Ákos Hadházy reports.
In a letter seen by Telex, OLAF said it had reviewed the information provided and launched an inquiry into the EU-funded “e-property registry” project, financed from the European Social Fund.
The government began digitising the real-estate registration system in 2015, absorbing Ft 16 billion in EU funding, but remains incomplete.
The E-ING system was declared complete in 2024, yet important capabilities have still not gone live, prompting scrutiny over the use of the funds.
Hadházy, who filed a complaint in May last year, said the system was billed as enabling fully electronic land-registry administration but has failed to deliver.
After a decade, he said, the only tangible outcome is online access to property records – something that existed before – while promised functions remain unavailable.
