Interactive Infotableaus

Infoscopes

Infoscopes – following the best practices of Anglo-Saxon parliamentary research services – are introductory volumes of the Infoservicefor the new parliament and serve a dual purpose. On the one hand, they provide information on the challenges, the World and Hungary will encounter in the future. On the other hand, they introduce the services that, Infoservice provides the parliamentary work with, especially the brief policy summaries (Infobriefings) and statistical information leaflets (Infotableaus). The previous (2019) and the recent (2022)  Infoscopes are downloadable in printable version by clicking on the links.

Analyses

Analyses are prepared on demand of the MPs, usually longer papers, focussing on the international comparative analysis of the issue. They provide detailed analysis of the legislation and practice of the particular countries – usually the EU Member States. An overview of foreign examples is provided by comparative analysis and tables.
