[Reflections on the enforcement of the genetic code of Act No. XXI of 2008].

The genetic code of Act No. XXI of 2008 is a milestone in the national codification of Hungarian human genetic studies and research. The code is in conformity with international as well as EU legislations. It guarantees full enforcement of both the right to self-determination and the rules of the profession. The criteria of legal functioning are institutional accreditation, regular auditing, decreed government control, and coordinated network structure. Further government and ministerial decrees are necessitated for its enforcement.
